Finally, a profile pic (even though it may be temporary.) I have a million side blogs so I needed something to help differentiate this one from the others. I will always go with a round cropped icon against a solid background with a frame around it. Always.
Currently working on: the Astertongue language, country names (which I think are just about finalized), city names, roads, harbors, and small map details like bays, lakes, rivers, beaches, and forests. I have a lagoon and a rocky beach and a hot spring, and not one goddamn sandy beach or forest marked on the map. I love my brain.
Roads will probably happen first, so I can see how dragons might travel from town to town over the various types of terrain, and then I'll come up with realistic locations of capitol cities. I know I want a highway that goes into the canyon where it turns into a toll road guarded by Earth dragons. That's the only idea I have for the roads right now.
I want weird stuff along the roads. Ancient ruins. Forbidden areas. Secret paths. Monuments. Nomadic communities. Tiny villages. Everything!
