@everybody
You know, I'm thinking about trying to make the map look prettier and more...natural. I'd be doing some plate-tectonics mumbo jumbo with a powerful hero, big elemental, or even with Zeph himself. Not sure which one yet; I don't have any narrative for it figured out at this point. The goal would be to explain a massive reshaping of some stuff so that the oceans wrap around and we have actual continents.
Edit: Or, come to think of it, the addition of just one more ocean might be able to fulfill this role and claim a lot of the empty space.
Thoughts on all this?
And yeah
@Hael, I'd say that's pretty big but I suppose we are looking to fill in the map. But also, remember that Galbar has extreme seasons and that winter prevents trees from growing in the arctic to an even greater extent than on Earth. Galbar's habitable region is really quite a bit smaller, since the Firewind (and I assume most equatorial regions) are hellishly hot in the summer, nearly to the point of being uninhabitable. And a much greater swathe of land in the north is essentially Siberia.
I think the point that I was getting at is that Kho's jungle was specifically said to be made of trees nearly immune to frost. Unless Vulamera does the same thing, I'd move the forest down to the south side of the Deepwood or maybe just give the icecap some more respect in terms of putting a big taiga in between it and these Shining Woods.
