fantastical?

I write fantasy.

There’s realism in my fantasy because relationships come first, but the fantastical flourishes.

It's another world, Ontyre.

Magic is a part of the planet—& its moon. I’ve written 20k words on the magic system alone. There are wizards, witches, sorcerers, partials with specialized magic, & much more.

The fantastical locations are mostly spoilers, but I'll say the libraries can amaze—& terrify.

The image is a color map of the continent of Tremjara on the world of Ontyre. The continent is roughly oval with notable exceptions, the oval tilted southwest to northeast. In the far north are the Frozen Lands, but otherwise the continent is surrounded by three oceans, the Para-Equa in the west, Terminus in the south, and Titania to the east. A long, slim peninsula, along with multiple islands, exists in the northwest. In the west and south are multiple, large islands. The southeastern peninsula is a barren wasteland with some volcanic islands off its coast. There are scattered islands up the eastern coast, most notably Pannulus, a roughly circular archipelago. The continent is roughly divided in half by mountain chains, some more extensive than others. Mountains also exist in other locations, especially the southwest. The west is heavily forested, the east a mix of forests and grasslands. The south desert. Some notable locations follow. Mythwyll in the southwest was the elfin homeland. In the west, Forstava is still the ora’ean homeland. In the east, Emprensa was once the home province of an empire. In the northeast, Draskrith is the realm of the shadow lords. Below that, and as noted, is Pannulus. At the continent’s center is nation of Carrdia. It’s surrounded by mountains, except in the west along its border with Forstava, and in the northeast. The continent’s biggest lake is located there, as is the mighty Key River.

Here is the first map. It starts at the landing site and ends at the stop for the first lunar night, also showing activities at the start of day 2. The landing site map is very different from the map I made earlier - and we will look at it in more detail later. Quite a lot of different panoramic images were taken from the rover when it was on the lander and in the vicinity, enough that I was able to do something unique for either Lunokhod. We'll see it tomorrow.

The first map of the Lunokhod 2 traverse. This map has an LRO NAC image base and a grid with 200 m spacing. The rover started at top left and drove down to bottom right, where its path is continued in an inset map.

As with my Apollo EVA maps and Lunokhod 1, this mission requires quite a few maps to cover it in detail. This index shows how they are arranged. The figure numbers are placeholders (final numbers will be larger) for my current project, which I hope to be revealing late this year.

This map has exactly the same base as the previous post.

An index map for the posts to follow this one, covering the route of Lunokhod 2. The individual maps are sized as pages in a book or PDF document. Figure numbers are only placeholders.

On a break, trying to figure out where we actually are in the Kemihaara Wilderness Area, Finland, during Christmas and New Year's Eve 2023/2024. We got pretty badly lost on this hike and for five days, we only had a vague idea of where we were. But since we always pack food for a few extra days, we didn't have any other emergency except that it started to become mentally exhausting. I would say I'm pretty good at navigating, but in forests, sometimes my inner compass just gets overwhelmed, or I get lost in my own thoughts and forget to be on alert for landmarks.

We will now start looking at the LRO results for Lunokhod 2. Tracks are easily visible in most areas so mapping is no longer a problem. To begin, here is an overview of the traverse with all the informal names given to features. Craters are Russian female names, sometimes in the diminutive form. If you knew Kira Shingareva you might wonder why there is no Kira, but that name is already in use for a small crater near Tsiolkovskiy. #maps #moon #luna21 #lunokhod2

A map of the Lunokhod 2 region with informal names of craters and other features. The rover began at upper left, drove to lower left, then across the lower part of the map to the right edge, and it was driving north when the mission ended. A long straight trough runs south to north up the right side of the map.

Hey, I'm pretty green in maps, so I thought I'd ask here. I need to create a map, that:

1. will include tree locations for my city from an xlsx file
2. needs to be easily available to several people on a mobile phone
3. includes the possibility of leaving a comment on the locations that will be readable to others

Do you have any suggestions on how to facilitate this? Thanks!

quick map I made about a year ago of Yellowknife showing property tax revenue density

keep on going back to this one as a way to show benefits of denser/central neighbourhoods

wish we had more openly available property tax data like this across Canada

Map of Yellowknife coloured by property tax revenue per km2. The map highlights how the central, denser, downtown area has higher revenue / is more productive on a per area basis.

Thumbs up for Old(er) Maps: I have a handful of ‘current’ OS maps of Scotland, but most of my paper maps come from the ’90s, and the electronic versions I am currently using are an edition from 2016.
