What Ba Chim's spy tells you about Il Tasi'in Il Tasi'in, a thick-walled town of 3000, is the seat of power for one of the the most isolated of the borderland satrapies of the Scarlet Sultanate. Located on the east coast just after the shoreline turns south, it is a bare 60 miles from the Xobi, the cold rocky southern desert in the Weird. The town which is dominated by the two raised quartz-dome hills called the Teats of Manat was formerly called Manawat and was deeply associated with the worship of that chthonic goddess (who is said to have ruled over fate itself and “sapped the self-will and value of Men”).

ReplyDeleteMy maps tend to be really small scale (2 mile hexes mostly), so ramping them up to 5 mile hexes really makes everything look a lot closer and denser.
ReplyDeleteI love these sorts of maps ...
ReplyDeleteI will add rivers, roads and some other sites of interest (both explored and not) probably tomorrow morning.
ReplyDeleteWhich direction is north? Straight up or slightly off?

ReplyDeleteCool. That's what I had figured to make both Corelands and Brazos fit with what we know of the big map.
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is that I tried to have north be straight up but realized that I had drawn the entire HC coastline at a tilt so I just went ahead and drew the whole thing that way.
