Revision as of 22:29, 1 February 2005

The Ghyll's Where Is Where is an attempt at establishing geographical facts about our world; it does not record other supplementary facts. For example, it records that the Evesque Valley is well-irrigated (and therefore must have plenty of streams), but it does not record that it used to play host to Aelfants. The latest most authoritative map is included inline below.

Latest Authoritative Ghyll Map

Scale: 1 square = 1 lele

Note, this map is based on the plain-ASCII version (included at the bottom of this page). Due to the scale and the density of known Ghyll, some work is planned to convert the ASCII map into a visual map created by Dundjinn so that it'll be easier to read and understand. We can't guarentee this will ever happen, but Morbus Iff has expressed interest in doing so. Editing the raw ASCII map DOES NOT regenerate the following easier-to-read thumbnail, so only do so if you've previously aroused Morbus' ire.

At this point in time, you should NOT add any more areas to the world of Ghyll. Ghyll Geography is frozen until the next Round (and may or may not be unfrozen even then). More in Round 2 discussion.

No Longer Authoritative Ghyll Maps

There have been multiple attempts at making a map of known Ghyll, some unfinished, some stylized, some totally and laughably inaccurate. We've included them all below for historical reference, but be sure to base your facts on the authoritative version above.

  1. The first computer-drawn map (Sean B. Palmer).
  2. A stylized, and more fleshed out attempt (Doctor Phineas Crank).

Geographical Facts about Ghyll

  • Dŵplat (stream)
    • The name of a stream, and of a meeting house on the stream (Dŵplat)
    • Located in one of many unnamed villages in the high green valleys of the north (Dŵplat)
  • River Ocean (ocean) (on map: yes)
  • Sejfeld (town) (on map: yes)
  • Shallow Gulf (gulf) (on map: yes)
  • Thungerbarg (village) (on map: yes)
    • Former name of Iganefta-on-the-Sea; still in use among some residents.
  • Vale of Oddbag (vale) (on map: yes)

Unknown/Unplaced Locations

  • Avazian Ruins (building) (on map: no, unknown location)
  • Fundzherit Peninsula (peninsula) (on map: no, unknown location)
    • Had some theoalchemical incident (inferred) (Doc Rockett)
  • Mount Rotyg (mountain) (on map: no, not yet)
