Elostian's Temple/Realm just opened up.

Haven't had a chance to go exploring it yet.

Yeah I guessed and it's where I always thought Elostians temple should be!! That location in the southern mountains was odd.

Mapping... or I should say attempting... it now.

The Temple's not bad. The Realm made my head hurt a bit.

Estarra, I think this one missed your class on how to lay out areas in nice, neat, easy to map ways. *eye twitch*


Yep.

heh, so here is my first map of Elostian's Realm.

I admit, it needs a bit of work.

Heh, that looks kind of familiar! Kind of like that tunnel system below Balach did for me for a long, long time until I finally put in the time to wrap it up and make it work right.

My condolences.

What do the little arrows mean? I'm seeing a couple patterned loops in there. Might be able to straighten it out.

Arrows are zMud's up/down thing.

There's no way to see which one they're actually linked to short of clicking on one of the squares and looking through your area map to find the other triangle that changed to red as well.

It's a zMUD map. Those are up/down exits.

Yeah, but they're scattered all over. Up/down to where?

See the room all by its lonesome on the right side of the spaghetti bowl with a W, SE, and a down-facing arrow? Where's that down go?

EDIT: Ninja'd by edit. That's...harsh.

Sorry!

It would be truly hilarious if Elostian made random exits as an experiment to see if order couldn't be imposed on just about anything. The torus I thought I saw is breaking down pretty quick.

The arrow are up/down as has been said, the up downs link to somewhere in the main "maze"

The little circles are in/out these link to the in/out exits on those two additional structures.

the end rooms on the two extra bits have an in and an out

the brown is aetherways btw

EDIT: so far I've got it down to this in terms of general layout... but it means i'm going to need 13 different link colours.



EDIT2: There should be enough space for link colours and numbering for linking the up/down in/out but I'll have to wait and see. It's 3am I really should go to bed now.

Aha! I knew there had to be a pattern.



EDIT: Done aside from temple exit. Hmmm 4.10am I'm going to be a cheery chappie at work today



EDIT 1PM: Note, the arrow in to 8 should be one room to the left.
Also, the cathedral is IN from the very centre room. Blergh, I need more coffee.

Have added Elostian Realm to main map in the new place next to the cathedral. Fixed the errors pointed out to me in the mountains, and added the cave in the southern mountains.

Caffery is the coolest person alive! You are seriously awesome for all the work you do on this map (which I couldn't get around without). I just wanted to be sure you knew that I really, really appreciate it.

-agrees with Noola-

Mapmakers need more love! Caffrey's map is really helpful, and I've used it to get around complicated areas a lot.

Thanks Noola

EDIT: and Serella also

EDIT 2: and Xikue below too! Thanks to everyone who sends me the nice comments!

<_< Caffrey's map makes me interested in Elostian.
Hail the mapmaker. Caffrey the Cartographer rocks.
