Day 5: map.

I'm working on and off on the world building for my game world and I used this prompt as a sign to actually brainstorm this world rather than just "There's a mountain. Somewhere."

And even to build on the main story, it was so inspiring! Placing the cities made me think of their trade, what the environment looked around each one, the relationship between them, how the residents would think of other cities.

Also settled on having a ghost town where a disaster happened (which is why there's less vegetation. I know who caused it but not what they did, so still vague about that xD I just wanted for them the trauma of being responsible for that).

I also wanted to add funky shaped tree that bend in the direction of the wind, which in turned made me wonder in which direction the wind would go which in turn made me wonder since the island is surrounded by giant waterfalls how would that affect the wind and the navigation and...

It made me think a lot :) I think I'll change more places in the future as I think about the story but it is good to have a starting point.

I don't really remember a street's name

Or where exactly it is to no shame

Houses mark roads and there's guides when I roam
