#Cartaugust Behold! My map! This is a map of Aloutia with locations I deemed relevant at the time, lol. To be honest, some are small towns that wouldn't normally be on a world map, and I've also since elevated other cities not shows here to be more important. Made by @dewiwrites.bsky.social
Map of Aloutia, a world with three main continents and many islands. It is a fantasy world and features some geography that's impossible irl, but that's just how things happen when the ocean is literally alive and the moons can do magic

#Cartaugust Aloutia has been fully explored. However, one planet that has been a problem is Munil. First off, this is a 3D crescent shape floating in space, which means cartographers don't really know how to display it on a 2D map. Even this one is sorta just... symbolic? An approximation?
Map of Munil, a crescent-shaped landmass. There are civilizations on the tips of the crescent, at the very top with large trees, and in the floating islands in the middle. However, the bulk of the planet's body is taken over by the Mu, an enormous jungle full of ruins

#CartAugust Yes, I'm playing my own game! MC Burnell here, and I'm going to be yapping about Dhashere. Might tinker with the art as the month goes on. This is the setting of my science-fantasy trilogy The Spider's Friend, and I picked it bc it's fun!
A landmass around an inland sea, open ocean to the west. It's called Dhashere. There are several ranges of mountains, the largest hemming the area in to the east. It's mostly quite arid; there are any number of cities.

#CartAugust These mountains are called the Kamblu Mountains, though I have only The Twenty Thousand Rivers labeled for clarity's sake. At the highest and most central plateau, there is a portal to Blue Home (ocean planet) where tons of water shoots out at all times. Those waters create

You shall not pass! Hey #CartAugust crew, time to dive in and really start looking at your maps. Today, we're talking elevation: highs, lows, and if you have neither, barriers to movement. Tell me about the geology, the history, famous explorers who lost their lives there... What do I need to know?

#CartAugust This waterway cuts through the continent. Ships can pass through, but they can only go the entire way west-to-east. The water stops being Lord Deep Sea at the narrow strait of Moonslight and Svetmuny. Passing through is considered a trial for new ship captains since they must rely
zoomed in map of Aloutia showing the Inner Slevango River. Along the way are the cities of Moonslight, Svetmuny, Stariymost, Cloudybrook, Yetrius City, Vela, the Summershade Shroomery, the Wreath, and Garlandtown.

#CartAugust Still talking about the features of the terrain. Today: water! Where is it, and can we use it to get around! Is it fresh and life-giving or poisonous? If you don't have water, talk to me about navigable ways
#CartAugust: a prompt game for map nerds! by mcburnellauthor.bsky.com Natural features: Day 5, Waterways Rivers, lakes, or oceans. What's the most noteworthy stretch of water here? Is it a navigable way or a death wish?

#G'day #CartAugust crew! Today, we're living dangerously, brushing up close against the demon Spoilers. The question: if you made two maps, a prologue and an epilogue, would they be the same? And if not, how have the events of the story changed this world?
#CartAugust: a prompt game for map nerds by @mcburnell.bsky.com Intro: Day 3, A world in flux. If you were to make two maps, one true to the first chapter of your story, one true to the last, would they be different? In what ways? (how to treat potential spoilers is entirely up to you) ** Don't forget alt text. I know it's hard to know what to inlcude in images that are really info-dense, but do your best.

#CartAugust Two things here: The Macadalian Wasteland was made after the event that created the Water Transformation Circle. Many of the rivers in that area turned into toxic or acidic sludge and permanently destroyed the land before those rivers could be managed.
Zoomed in map of Aloutia showing the Pepper Islands, Lelth, Macadalia Tower, the Macadalian Wasteland, Kamblu Bay, The Twenty Thousand Rivers, the Water Temple, and the Aureole Forest with Jena

#CartAugust Ngl, I'm particularly invested in this one: where is your Deccan traps? Whether it be a flood, a meteor, or something magical, talk to me about an event that left a scar! And don't forget to post your map so we can see what you're talking about! 🪐 📚️ #Booksky

#CartAugust I don't get many chances to talk about the Surryle Forest! Back when Lucognidus banished all the demons from Aloutia, there were two he allowed to stick around because they sided with him AND because they couldn't physically leave Lord Deep Sea was one of them Lord Surryle was the other
zoomed in map of Aloutia showing the Surryle Forest, with Ulinor on the cost on the north side and the Ebonwood on the other side. Winyo is also visible far to the west

Happy Monday, #CartAugust fam! Let's talk about your world's short-nosed bear. Where are people at risk from something that means them ill? Whether out of malice or simple hunger? 🪐 📚️
