Okay, map geek time. I cannot get over how much I love the Veil Jumpers maps in Veilguard. I had, in my mind, pictured the Dalish as having triangular maps, based on this gorgeous thing (Cahill's 1909 Butterfly projection) and I was so delighted to see I was right.

Just look at how pretty!

This type of projection does really well at preserving shape and area, which I feel would be remarkably useful for a nomadic people like the Dalish. And it would, in addition, be remarkably portable, because triangles could be easily folded and sectioned off for ease of use in the field.

I suspect that the little triangular pouch hanging from Bellara's belt is a map case. It's pretty close to the little triangular maps above the desk in the Veil Jumper camp where Strife and Irelin hang out.

Geology you say. I'm listening...........

Response to this post, I can only assume. 😏

Me, writing a ~200k fic where Callum makes a geological map of the magical rocks in the Pentarchy and also maybe Rayllum people bang?

It's more likely than you'd think...

Boy it doesn’t actually take that much to get me in a good mood, I just have to go on a trip somewhere while looking at a map and have there be cool clouds and I’m happy the rest of the day

Losing it bc Wikipedia has a high quality world map with no country names on it, which is exactly what I need and it’s all correct, EXCEPT, this July under the guise of adding Kosovo some guy split up Germany into east and west Germany again and I am going f e r a l

Dazzling Map Shows NYC's Incredible Linguistic Diversity

The map displays where there are languages spoken by large swaths of the neighborhood, and those that are spoken by just a few people.

As I’ve said before, I’m not a fan of the whole thing in Merlin where every single little thing is historically anachronistic, but they (the writers, producers, fans, anyone) still feel the need to place the show in the finale in a very specific setting in a very specific time.

That said, I’m chucking canon (where’s that post about roasting and carving for juicy bits) and chucking the whole “Albion is Britain or the British Isles and Camelot is either somewhere in Wales or Somerset no one’s sure we don’t know what we’re doing” and I’m placing Merlin in, like the title said, A Land of Myth, and a Time of Magic.

Meet Albion! It’s a small island/landmass (who knows as my canon won’t extend beyond it). It is not tied to any restrictions of the real world so all the travelling distances they use in the show can just stay, as well as the dragons. The white lines represent country borders.

It’s a work in progress as there will be a MUCH more detailed version, it’s just on a short hiatus. But you can see this as part 1.

I’m uploading this because I’m planning to upload some aesthetic pics for these countries, but only if you guys are interested! ^^

EDIT 28/5/17: Added more land to the Southron Lands. They seemed empty.

Bobby's house !

Editor’s note: Since a lot of chapters in the rest of the story will take place at Bobby’s house, here’s a map of the place. For the need of that story, some rooms were added or modified. Mostly, this is how my brain pictured the place and I wrote as how my brain saw it. t is not 100% accurate with the show, but it will help for picturing some scenes better.
