Mapvember 2021
1. A bridge that connects two important places
There is probably something architecturally significant about the bridge, given how important it is for travel, but for now I'm content to leave this as is.2. A throne room, palace, or seat of power
This was an article I really should have developed prior to NaNoWriMo this year. It will need further updating before I return to that project. Including a map. To help with the whole infiltrating the palace and assassinating the queen situation.3. A tradition that takes place behind a screen
I've been wanting to develop specialized applications for Leland's magic system, so I'm glad to have this prompt. Only problem is I keep creating applications for Power of Light and nothing else.4. A cupola or dome-roofed building
The Courthouse of Deamei has a central domed roof and eight wings branching off, one for the individual court of each of the eight provinces. This will be included in an article about the Deamei justice system during Worldember.
5. A building known for its stained-glass art
Giving myself a little head start on Worldember with this one. Don't have an exact location for the workshop, but Reisouth is an area I want to expand come December.6. A building or landmark infamous for its locks
7. A building known for its number of ladders or steps
8. An important material, item, or trade-good stored in barrels
Need to do some further development on this in the future, mostly additional uses besides being used to keep valuables safe.9. A military base defended by canon
10. A famous library
I look forward to coming up with historical documents that are held within this library given that Irocra is the province that has the most developed history/culture.11. A laboratory or place of science and academic pursuit
I will have to return to this one after I create more celestial objects and develop the Rinduma/Consonia.12. An Inn or Hotel famous for an excellent night's slumber
13. A prison or zoo filled with cages
Never actually considered the security concerns of housing aggregant prisoners in a stone/metal prison until this prompt.14. A workshop that creates an important common item
More development of Hessen so the Canmores don't live in a void!15. A royal or municipal garden or arboretum
I feel like I made the snap decision to make Banreah a bloody place at the end of the queendom and now everything I write about it has to do with its bloody past. At least I have a place that Melia probably enjoyed going and that Justyne will probably end up going to for a school trip.16. A communal hall of gathering and lively conversation
And here we have the location where Breydon performs his mandatory community service. To be fair, he enjoys kids and loves tutoring them in Flora so he would do it even if it wasn't court ordered.17. A military mess or organization's cafeteria
18. A cemetery or mausoleum where coffins are buried
Technically ashes are buried here, not coffins, but it's a cemetery so. . .19. A hospital or other place of medicine
East Elver was originally just map filler, but now that I've decided that Ellie/Marelena at the very least works in East Elver, it's taken on a bit more of a personality. Needs further development.20. A famous public room or chamber
Ah. . .the glitz and glam of city nightlife.21. A (super)natural source of radiation, light, or heat
22. A dock, trade port, or naval base
More Worldember prep!23. An insectoid species known for its "drone" behavior
24. A famous body of water - ocean, sea, or river
Another thing to kickstart my Worldember goals: why nobody could just sail north around the Wasteland to see what lies there.25. A machine or mechanism important to daily life
26. A plant species which grows seeds in a pod
A good spooky entry! Well. . .the entry itself isn't spooky, but I look forward to developing a legend or two involving these ghost lantern trees.27. An altar for a religion in your world
28. A dangerous location difficult to escape
29. A large cliffside or dangerous drop
30. A bay known as a place of hospitality and entertainment
More Worldember prep!Bonus Maps
My NaNoWriMo dreams have been shattered, so I turn my attentions to Mapvember instead, hopefully laying the groundwork for Worldember.
Goal: 21 prompts and a shiny new badge
Prompts Completed: 21/30
Bonus Maps: 3
As a bonus to your first bonus map, i would consider a Vineyard a workshop that creates an important common item. Wine can be important and common. And if you want the train lines can fit 25. Your almost there. Keep up the good work.
