Hey everyone,
I just thought I'd share these scanned maps. I've had this world in my head since before Enderion and Zaciré, amazingly. But I've never really done anything about it. I've been meaning to write a story about colonization/oppression, both from the perspective of the native people who were originally in the land and the 'conquerors' who were really just settlers trying to make a living.

So that's what these maps are. They're not complete world maps but just the part in which the story would have taken place. The first map shows the land right when the settlers are first getting there, the next map shows them when they have extended their control a lot. The third map (which I no longer have) showed the Indian tribes compressed on tiny reserves and the colonists' control over everything but a) it was depressing to me (poor indians!) and b) I did it all in pen so it didn't look like these. :D

Anyways, hope you enjoy these. And one day (someday) I just might finally get a story out of them :roll:

Cool! (On a side note, is there a reason why your username isn't capitalized? Just curious...)

@Griffin: I just make them up, I guess. :) I actually am not satisfied with all the names on this map...I might change some. :)

@Shawn: Thanks! (My username is lowercase to be different, I guess. Kind of like e.e. cummings. I always write it lowercase too....it just looks weird in uppercase to me. :) However, I always capitalize Dorodhiel. Not sure why :roll:. I guess if I ever put them in a story I would have to capitalize eruheran. :D)

I agree with Griffin, I can't make any names to save my life :shock: GREAT job, by the way :D
