Welcome to Gaia! ::

When I made my character, I had made a few assumptions. The new map makes some of my character's biographical info faulty, as it was based on the map used in WoT. I would greatly appreciate it if you would allow me to make a revised map that would avoid these conflicts, while also remaining similar to the map already decided upon by Apollo.

Just re-read your character post. The only thing that conflicts is that you mention fighting in the Aiel waste... The name may have changed for the desert but you already mention that your character calls things by their old names... so that would solve that problem. Also it says he has traveled all over the world... therefore he could have been helping the members of Andor or Carhien fight some minor battles against the Aiel and it would mean that no changes would be needed to your profile.

I wouldn't worry to much about it Orion after all the maps perfect.

Manathera is on the wrong side of the mountains.
Andor somehow touches Tear
Tarabon is where Andor was.
Tremalikin is way to far North.
To simplify the only thing recognizable is the borderlands, Tar Valon, and the Blight.

Any shift that drastic in the tectonic plates over any period less than say a million years would in fact destroy all life as we know it.

So it is best to assume a completely different divergent dimension so that the story is 100% ours and has little bearing on anything RJ ever wrote.

Now I don't mean to be overly critical here but the map really bugs me. and I figured we would have oh say some input. There aren't that many of us, actually only 6 who actually are posting so if we have a problem with the map it is no slight on you Apollo it's just not what people are looking for.
I say people there because if it is not recognizable aside from cutting up the map and turning the individual peices people aren't going to think of it as WoT.


It is not my intention to be inflamatory and I apologize if anyones feelings are hurt this is simply my opinion which is aparently unwanted since the last time I posted any concerns about the map I was Jumped on with a request to delete my concerns.

I did approve the map ahead of time, I felt it was quite creative and gave our story a bit of originality. Also, when we were discussing creating a history and maps, Apollo was the only one who volunteered at the time. I am not trying to upset anyone but I feel that the only reason everyone is arguing his map now is because it has come into play in the story.

Also aria, the reason the posts were deleted from that thread is because it was under construction and had not been opened for discussion yet. He wanted to finish everything before you guys started making comments which was another thing I approved so please do not be upset at him for that.

If you want to read the history it is in the under construction thread... you just need to use your intellect to be able to read it.

If you have contributions that you want made, it is much easier if you are more specific than criticizing the whole map. For example, would it make you all happier if we extended Malkier and Shienar out South & East further, into the Ogiers Island (we could rename it... but I dont know what would be a good Ogier name) and the island of Demir. From there we can extend Demir southward so it connects to Cairhien & Andor.

Anywhere where somebody has posted suggestions on the history I have looked at them to see if they would fit into the system. I also will need alot of help on writing the White Towers transition, a position which I would rather use others ideas and just craft into the story since I am not much of a key player in the White Tower. If you want to help me on this Aria feel free to send me a message with any suggestions. Actually any suggestions can be posted in this thread of the OOC or sent to me in a pm. I do not want to be the only one participating in our history.

Id say if your going to edit it, bring that southern border down about halfway into Demir, and then into Andor and Caemlyn... draw up some mountains that wrap around all of those, and that would just make the waste even larger

I was thinking something more along those lines... all of the red is obviously the edited stuff... but the bold red spraypainted area is supposed to be mountains. I shifted a few borders on the countries... obviously we'd need another name for the former Ogier Island... something along the lines of the Old Tongue.

I have some experience in making maps. I'd be honored if you'd allow me to finalize this map. I'll include one of the maps from my worlds/stories to show you the quality and style of my maps.
