Runil Indoril- Master cartographer of avatarati:

With great pride I announce that the first Casadian cartographic expedition was a success! A group of brave Casadians from the town of Avatarati venture into the wildlands and mapped the majority of the northern region of the Casadian duchy.

With this new map we now have a bird view of our territories and planning will be easier in future times. This expedition was also a test for some new map drawing techniques. (I used journey map for the curious)

The link for those who want to zoom in (Mandatory since its so big :p)

we still need to refine a little bit the mapping, since there are areas missing.

Also, Avatarati's founder, Sir Avalon, has studied the map and has developed construction projections for several projects, including roads and settlements, as requested by Lord arkelai, Guardian of Casadia.

-CONVENTION-

  • red= Current urban zones (towns, cities, settlements, etc.)
  • yellow= Planned roads
  • orange= suggested roads
  • purple= suggested urban zones
  • green= geographical features


Lore off: The second map is just an opinion of how the territory could be developed. The yellow south road will be built to communicate the future capital with the east, the rest (orange and purple stuff) are just ideas of how we could make more civilized the land.

I forgot Miradost while making the map, sorry! I labelled it accordingly though ;)

Excellent work! This map will certainly be useful as we develop Casadia together.

I have never been to Casadia, but this map explains so much of the geography. Well done

I am extremely impressed by this. Other Serfs, take note!

I might do something similar to this for Dawnstar. Excellent!

The main point of this cartographic expition is to understand our geography and build according to it. Some tips if you plan to make a map with journey map: try to render as much chunks as you can, this will create the map without the need to move that much. I entered "radar mode" in which I stopped in the middle of uncharted land and rendered 32 chunks and just let it load for a couple minutes, in that way i didnt have to move that much to draw the map

Nice, I wish I could do this but when your computer is so shit you can barely walk normally this would be impossible, I may pay you if you'd help me do this :)
