I'm going to have to go on without Sep; the IC is progressing faster than he or I can roleplay in sync, and he's mostly absent. Soz.

I don't like to post all the time, I wanted something more to do other than "Tyrell Jumped in a boat."

[No Bite and All Bark]

Has anyone updated the map with known locations and factions? And borders between groups and such?

[Guilty Spark]

There are locations, but I haven't added factions to the map.

But jumping on a boat is fun

And the IC is progressing faster than we are. Where the Kalesians broke through the outer city to the docks, and where four or so people went across the lake and set up camp, Myth and Tyrell left the arena and found the docks.

Which is why I would tend to do these kind of scenes in a collab to prevent lots of short posts.

[Ellri]

We don't really know of any instant historic examples for waterfront hindrances. It could be cliffs. It could be really nasty reefs. It could be something else. We don't have ideas here and now.

Just the act of jumping on a boat isn't worth a full post on its own. We would highly recommend a full-length collab there.

[Guilty Spark]

Reefs in a lake doesn't make much sense I think. I'm at a loss on this one, anybody else have an idea?

I'm pretty sure thats a no-no.
I havent heard of a reef in a lake before

[Guilty Spark]

This is a fantasy world, I'm sure we can come up with a dramatic fictional reasons for this.

Edit: What if strange Old Kingdom ruins, weathered until they were indistinguishable from lumps of stone, filled the water. Only enough were dragged out to cover a portion of the waterfront area.

Guagh I had college from 11 am to 10 pm...I'm pooped X_X

[Guilty Spark]

Go to bed! That's too many hours for you to be thinking.

[AlidaMaria]

But...must...post...and...read...

[Guilty Spark]

The earlier you go to sleep the earlier you wake up.

Then you can study!

[AlidaMaria]

Fair enough xD

[BingTheWing]

I'm busy IRL so I need some time to get up a post.

[Ellri]

Ruins and pointy rocks could work. Maybe also a bit of cliffs?

[chukklehed]

how about the lake was a bay, but the old kingdom cut it off from the ocean and purified the water so it could be drank?

[Ellri]

Too far inland. And the mountain shapes don't make sense for that. For that to have been sea, nearly half the continent would've been flooded with how the mountains look now. Even with just the bay west-southwest of the city, you're speaking of hundreds of square kilometers to be filled in and re-elevated.

[Ellri]

Ok, we started with drawing some cliffs. We're considering adding some different color texture to the cliffs, but not decided what yet.
The funny, blue-gray box is a scale identifier, 100x100x100m.

Here's one without textures, to give an idea of how the topography looks:

By the way, Sparks... we know a fellow who's looking for another RP. He's more than decent at RPing. Would you open up for one more player here?

[Guilty Spark]

I have no problem with opening up for another RPer.

I also like cliffs and ruins, that works.
