 Added poll for Region name.

hmmmmmm...... Quite good artwork.  maybe there can be some use.

  Anyone who wants to use it can, so long as they cite this thread to give credit to everyone who took part. Enjoy!

going up we find the region "mira" the rivers source is in the middle of mira, a spring/lake.  the lake is full of docile snakes. docile as in. you can step on one by accident and it wont even hiss. you can even pet them.

the snakes are commonly called "filter snakes", because there scales filter out impurities in the water. this keeps the lake and river clean despite animals and swimmers.


the lake itself is often called blessed spring, because its the source of the water, the water is always clean, and the snakes are so docile.

  Filter Snakes... Hrmm, that's a tough one. I like! Noted.

  More suggestions!

[poketwo]

No. More of your talents.

[TalonisWolf]

 Tek Saas is winning the vote, so I'm putting up a new poll: are we sticking to a purely Mezo-American Theme or are we going to give our world a diverse amount of cultures?

No. More of your talents.

  Sorry, I'm not that type of guy.

Like I said - Great American Deserts/Plains indians, from pueblos to teepees!

I DID NOT MEAN SEXUAL STUFF

UNLESS YOU MEANT COMMISSIONS, NON SEXUAL ONES.

  Alright, so bad news and good news:

 Bad- I'm going to be leaving Friday to an event that will last about a week, during which I'll probably be out of range for any form of internet.

 Good- Gimme a bunch of suggestions and/or commissions and I'll see what I can do.

I think this region should be similar in culture to the last region, but different in some ways.

I also think this region should be more magic oriented.


just to be clear the river from the spring is the same river that flows through the first region.

  I'm baccck!

  Thought so on the River bit, moar Magics noted, and I'm planning the border to have a Totem Pole with Mezo-AMerican designs. Only thing holding me back at the moment is I can't remember where I put my Ipad, borrowing computer from neighbor for 2$.

  Drown me in ideas, at this point the theme doesn't matter so much- Steampunk Airships bombing Mayan Temples? All for it! Giant Squids which burrow through the Earths Crust and feed on ponies? Why not! Drop Ideas here today!

  Hell, I'll take commissions in the meantime- PM what you want and I'll reply... eventually.

  ((Ipad was in between layers of my bag, having fallen in through a tear inside.  ))




You listen to a bunch of drunken, short midget miners and hear them call the next region 'Tek Saas', a rather odd name that has no equivalent in your native tongue.
You're amazed to find that the reason the river that runs through Yaxuun is so pure is due to the wonders of 'Filter Snakes', a creature blessed with the ability to purify any body of water! Truly, this is a miraculous thing- perhaps you could wrangle a deal up and get a colony to dump in the Turpid Pool?

You've barely started and already, the wonders of this region are enchanting you! You wonder what horrors hide beneath the beauty- after all, Grievous Glade isn't far off...

Spoiler: Musings of the Sanity Impaired (click to show/hide)

So... the totem pole was a nightmare, but once I decided to go for a 3D 3/4 view it suddenly clicked. You guys fine with the totem I started?

Beyond that, there wasn't a lot to do- the top and bottom parts of the border are going to be the same as the previous map to maintain a sense of... continuity? Is that the word? Something like that.

Not inking yet- have a feeling folks may want to put something in or around the lake, and painting over inked work and drawing over it is a pain, not to mention it wrecks Sharpie Nibs.

Remember, I try to put every suggestion into a piece regardless of questionable sanity- I can't judge, I'm less than sane myself!

Comments, concerns, commissions?

Totem pole looks fairly good, I think. I like it.

In the far west of the region, also known as the top-left corner, is a huge mountain. There isn't much to it, save for the fact that it is filled with cave systems within cave systems, known only as Hollow Mountain. Anything that wanders in has been know to simply not wander out, however, and there is a disturbing amount of skeletons at each entrance...

[TalonisWolf]

 Ah, that reminds me:

 To be clear, North, East, South and West are each at diagonal points. Straight up is actually Northwest.

 This is because, for some Caffiene addled reason, I decided to start at about the Eastern 'Pole'. Any and all confusion is my fault and frustrations can be vented at me by throwing me in a Danger Room full of Zombie Sponges.

At the northwest edge of this strange region, there is a colony of red-skinned humanoids worshipping some sort of giant eagle deity. They live in small hovels made of sticks and clay, and these buildings resemble downturned bowls. These people hunt, fish and forage for food, and are excellent archers. They are hard to communicate with, and the word they most often repeat is 'Kukula'. It might be their deity, their village's name, their tribe's name - something important for sure.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

Fixed, then.

  Is 'Kukula Shrine' a fine name, or do you have something else in mind? And Noted.

Noted, with a note to draw some Elephant Skeletons to reference Boatmurdered.
