Worldbuilding Project : Day Five - The Map
Once again the quoted text comes from 30 Days of World-Building by Stephanie Bryant.
Hmm... the map. At least it's proving helpful in nailing down where the two societies I'm working on are... and thinking about rainshadows while looking at the coastal outline I drew allowed me to move my desert culture to somewhere that made more sense with what I had in mind.
Anyway Day Five - The Map
Okay it's fairly crude. The outline is okay but everything else is sketch. The brown streaks are mountain ranges and the little black houses speak for themselves. I haven't detailed any rivers yet but I will over the weekend. I know it doesn't look like much yet but it will after a few more drafts I hope. I just hope I haven't put any mountains anywhere the shouldn't be.

Anyway Day Five - The Map
So, today's exercise is to draw out the physical contours of your map, and then identify at least three places that your people might live. You don't need names for them yet-- we'll worry about names next week, when we give our people language. Just draw a dot on the map or maybe sketch a little "house" symbol to indicate that people have settled that area.
