[QUOTE="d'Anconia, post: 4187797, member: 1332"] Graf – the map was created in MS Paint, which is hardly an ideal program to do that in. I just drew some circle and lines and stuff! I don’t know how much more detailed we’ll be able to get it. I’ve changed the castle so that it sits on a cliff (I hope it looks like that on the map!) Changing any major details (like how the river flows and the situation of the wards) will be tougher the more detailed the map gets, because we’ll have to recreate everything around the changes too. What we should do is get things like the river, the neighborhood locations, the castle location and stuff like that set in stone, and then we can start adding a few more details to it. Paint certainly isn’t ideal for this. If anyone has any better suggestions, I’m all open to it. It’s just the only I have to work with. I meant it more as a way to get the layout straight in everyone’s head. A little more about Alexander – Quite frequently, his chores around the farm would take him to the river. Whether it was fetching water for the animals, of getting water to irrigate the crops, he got to know the section of river just beyond the bridge quite well. The massive forest on the other side of the river would sometimes break the concentration that he usually had with his work. He would stare into it and wonder what was out there. He began to feel truly alive with just the thought of wandering its depths and exploring its secrets. He would occasionally see shadowy figures staring back from a distance, but later he would always chalk it up to his imagination. Until a few weeks ago, that is. While bathing in the river after a long days work one of the shadowy figures suddenly appeared on the edge of the river and just stood there. Its entire body was concealed in a cloak, but it certainly wasn’t his imagination. Adrenaline surged through him for perhaps the first time in his life. The sky seemed bluer, the grass greener, and the forest beyond the river more majestic. He frantically swam across the river to get to the figure. Who was this man? (or woman)… He got to the other shore, but, as normal, could go no farther once he hit the boundary. He tried with all his might to push past it, but couldn’t. The figure just stared at him and his efforts for a few brief moments longer, before turning and slowly disappearing back into the forest. He quickly ran to the bridge and found his good friend Eldan and asked if he’d seen anything – with no luck. Eldan hadn’t seen anything of the sort, but he also hadn’t been looking down in Alexander’s direction. Since then he hasn’t been able to stop thinking about the encounter. Who was that figure? What did it want with him? What other things are out there waiting to be found? The questions continue to haunt him, fighting back the dreary haze that seems to be over almost everyone else in the town. As always - feel free to tell me some of the details in my "hook" don't fit in with what your concept of this is. [/QUOTE]
