We at Aegle Waygate are in pursuit of some Cartographers interested in creating their personal rendition of the Lavellan Realm Map. This is a volunteer project, and in no way affects the player base in any manner. It is not a requirement to participate.

 

Materials:

Any materials you prefer, or programs to sketch/draw the map is completely within your creative realm to develop. I have used Cartographer 2, with an icon/element packet on occasions to master the one used for the realm standard. An earlier occasion, I created another in Photoshop CS2. There is a myriad of online materials free for use online,such as Deviantart.com -- do 'map' searches in Resources > Photoshop Brushes, etc. If you need further help with gathering materials, please contact Aeglewaygate@hotmail.com - or shoot Leilani a PM on IRC. Gimp is also a free program, which is free, and I believe photoshop brushes are compatible with it, as well. It's definitely a cheaper alternative. Drawn/scanned maps are equally welcomed, as well!

 

Requirements:

All landmarks which are illustrated, refer to the map here.

Unfortunately, you may not add new landmarks or regions, but this does not include general landscapes/mountain regions or even woodland areas.

 

 

Time length: August 21st is the deadline for this project. Use it wisely.

 

Judging:

The GMs of Aegle Waygate staff will be judging the maps entered into the contest, after the deadline expires. Some of the premises for judging the entries are:

Credibility and likeness to the LANDMARKS upon the original map. (Not the platform/style, etc).

Creative direction, artistic quality, and also unique contrasts.

The GMs will also be participating if they wish it, but none of the art submissions will have names upon them, therefore the fairness is ensured for all related players.

Rewards:

Note: All maps will be featured into the map gallery on the website, but prizes vary.
