Jul 30, 2004 2:34:31 While there's one of us who seem to have the hobby of drawing several maps for athasian fans like us, why not ask him to draw a topographical map??

It wouldn't be to much work since the map(with no site) is already made.(well, compare to drawing the whole map a new, it is anyway. ) All there is left to do is from us, the community, is to suggest the topography of the planet! (so we may all agree on what he'll draw for us/himself)
This, for instance, would help clarify what was an island in the blue Age.

Personnally, I think there are 2 major maps missing in this awsome *collection* on his web site.
1-- A topographic map of the known world.
2--A green age map.(one with and one without sites:known cities, place of interest etc)

Jul 30, 2004 3:12:28 Well at least what I can remember as being canon.

The highest elevations known as islands in the blue Age
1---Since Tyr'agy was in a swamp we can assume the entire Ringning Mountains and its immediate surroundings were a colossal island(perhaps THE biggest in the Blue Age)
2---the entire Jagged Cliff region possessed several islands throughout its length. (probably the biggest coral reef Athas as ever had)
3---The tip of the Koshak mountain range.(where most kreen dwelled)
4-- the known Tyr region as we know it today, was sparsed with island of different size.

Speculation
5--The Last Sea region
6--The White Mountains
7--The mountains where the Nexus is
8--Mountains of the Sun and the black island
9--There had to be a few islands were the DeadLand is now.

I speculate that there were very few islands in the Silt sea during the Blue Age. So, being the lower region (other then the Crimson Savanha) of the Tyr*plateau* the sunrise Sea was created after the killing of the brown tide.

Jul 30, 2004 12:32:23 I want a good-sized body of water that is very deep. Deep enough to allow the Brown Tide to flee into and hibernate for a few thousand years only to reemerge as an aggresive colonial-organism that feeds off of itself and any passing creatures that wade into its territory. OK?

Jul 30, 2004 13:21:40 I placed it in my campaign: it's called the Black (the Rhul Thaun had to send it somewhere, after all).

Jul 30, 2004 13:26:23 Hey Dawn, you mean the actual Black? The plane called the Black?

Jul 30, 2004 13:37:38 Nice idea Dawn. I always assumed that the Rhulisti killed off the brown tide. It would be a nice twist if they simply 'made it go away'.

Jul 31, 2004 1:53:09 Is anyone here good with 3D graphics applications? It might be interesting to see a map of the known world in 3D. or, if anyone is peeling reely abmitious, much of the world as it exists now.

Oh, and dawn, what is that big, black blodge on the map of athas that you did?
