Yesterday, I made the odd decision to flesh out my ancient map of Concordia's world, Eydiran. For those who haven't seen this ancient map, here it is: [link]

I changed some parts - the HUGE island at the bottom left is completely removed, for example. Mostly because I couldn't bother finding a name for it, and the Heroes (TM) will never visit it anyway. Come to think of it, the Heroes (TM) will never visit 90% of all the stupid places I've been naming and given histories to. Oh well, it's said that the readers will only see 10% of your worldbuilding in the final product anyway, so I'm good.

It did solve a problem I've had with the story for a while, though: Getting from Point A to Point B. I know the beginning and ending, but not what happens in-between. The map have given me loads of ideas, though! For example, I now have a lot more politics involved. Some people want independence, some claims technology to be the work of evil. I admit that part of the reason why I write this story is because I've always wondered why no fantasy society EVER seem to undergo the industrial revolution. On another note, magic seems to solve everything, so maybe they don't have any need for fancy guns, metros and airships. My magic fuels said guns, metros and airships, though... so, is it magic or technology? Hmmm. B|

Anyway! This has broken my writer's block, so I expect to write lots tomorrow. I'm home alone for the next two weeks, so I have enough time. You probably think I'm nuts because I refused to go with my parents to Spain, but I can't stand planes. T_T I'd rather be home - it'll be good practice for when I'll have to move out. And we save money because we don't have to send our dogs to a kennel. Profit for everyone!

I'll maybe draw some more Concordia stuff soon. (And did you notice on Map 3, there's a reference to why the story is named Concordia in the first place? 8D *Feels smart*)


Also, my chest have been hurting somewhat the past days. My inner hypocondriac keeps telling me I've got breast cancer. ._.
