The Witch's Amulet

The amulet that marks the Witch with her title. A tradition created by the second witch, the amulet itself was a gift from a thankful craftsman from the Eastern side of the wide range.

The amulet depicts the way the Earth and the Heavens reach for each other. The gem at the center is the same blue that the surgeons in the Little City wear.

I made this so that way a Hatsune Miku png wouldn't be my profile pic lol. I'm not satisfied with the velvet cushion the amulet sits on (idk if it even reads right) but I am pretty satisfied with the amulet itself. This pictures isn't made to be looked at close up anyways.

Witch Point

While the Island goes by many names, a common name for it is Witch Point, after the lady of the Little City. This is the last habitable island en route to the Earth's Hand, as the elevation is not yet too extreme to manage crops or animals. While the Little City is not the only settlement here, it is both the largest and the closest to the Earth's Hand.

Before arriving to Witch Point, pilgrims will approach using one of two islands. These islands have different names depending on who you ask, so for convenience they are labeled with the positions.

Click keep reading to see a blank version of the map.

I am not certain I will keep the name Witch Point as the primary name for this island. I have plans to make a conlang for this world, so maybe it will be renamed once I make enough progress on that. East route and West route are also place holder names.

The Earth’s Hand

The Earth's Hand is where the Earth herself reaches up towards the heavens, seeking what was once lost. People from far and wide attempt to reach her hand, to also chase after the heavens.

Earth's Hand will always be the tallest portion of the map, even if I change the specifics in the future. The peak is slightly taller than Everest, and is much larger than any mountain not in an existing range. I want it to be extreme in elevation, but only just barely scraping into the realm of impossibility. If you are someone who knows more about how tall mountains are allowed to get in an Earth-like atmosphere dm me.

I don't know if I conveyed it well in this map, but the islands surrounding the peak are also part of the original mountain, before it was eroded by harsh winds.

Welcome to the Little City!

I started making this world way back in 2018 (maybe earlier?) where it was hosted on World Anvil. I think it will be more useful to post stream-of-conciousness style using tumblr, as I try to revive the ideas I had on there.

The Little City is the name of the final settlement on the route of an important pilgrimage for the people of this world. Here, nestled in a temperate alcove, people gather to patch their wounds and refuel before making the great leap into the final stretch of their journeys. The Little City is controlled by a witch, a generational title handed down from master to apprentice.

I hope you enjoy seeing the development of the witch and her city, thank you!
