What is the plan for the small island that lies just off the coast on the south end of the Lenfel/Garhim border? Who owns it and what is there? Maybe it should be the location of the King's palace? Sort of an "unclaimed" neutral land mass that is the political hub of the continent, perhaps?

That's an interesting idea! :)

It would keep the king and his castle out of the clutches of any particular faction. :wink:

You mean the "micro" island just between mainland and one of the bigger islands?

That could be a good idea, but isn´t the Island too small for that, wouldn´t it be very easy to keep an small island like that isolated and siege it with warships. The king would have to have some major weapon of mass destruction, that would keep of attackers who would be power hungry :D

This could be a good thing... maybe there will be a siege in the future of the story... something like a battle of the five armies (king, provinces and outlaws)

I like that plan, and while it could be easily possibly to besiege and isloate a small island, I doubt that'll happen (at least anytime soon).

Hi all,

I've been working on an Outlaws detail map with lord of orks. Per the comments and discussion I thought it would be best to add some land marks where we could camp. Please review and comment on the flickr page below. I added plenty of locations so some can be deleted/renamed. I suppose we can also add some too.

Can I get a volunteer (Gurusql has volunteered to do it. Thanks) to help me finish the map for Garheim? Unfortunately, as much as I try to stay on top of things, adding the last few details to it has been put off for a few months now. I think everything is tagged in the Flickr image. It just needs to be added permanently and submitted for final integration so that we can get this part of the LCC finalized.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I think we've settled on Mikithdar for the name of the capital. I think we can call the lake and the river that flows out of it the same name, if there are no objections.

That is an awesome outlaw map! The names and locations are great in my opinion. :D

I really like the new Outlaws map. Everything has creative names and are equally spread throughout the province. The only thing I would suggest adding would be the name of the mountains to the north, which would be the "South _______ Mts." (Whatever our Loressi friends named it. ) Also, on the magic isle, I would suggest adding more, magical landmarks. Ex. More shrines, a magical market/town, a notable grove.

I have added the requested items (hopefully I did not miss any) :D

Even though I'm not an Outlaw myself, I thought I'd just comment about how I like the use of Skyrim symbols on your map, makes everything instantly recogniseable for a player of the game itself :)

Totally, It's been really well done! Great job Outlaws! I guess that now that Garheim's Map is finished too, all factions have their maps ready, right? :D
