I might even build up the courage to put up my map on here, though it certainly cannot hold its own when compared to the excellent pieces I've seen poste4d... anyway, never mind that.Thinking about cartography led me to thinking that different races, probably, have different cartographic conventions: not ALL races will probably put NORTH on the top side of a map, for example.But then I had ANOTHER thought. Imagine dwarves - which in my setting VERY seldom venture out of their subterranean kingdom. Also imagine the fact the dwarves' kingdom does NOT have wide expanses of open caves - it's mostly tunnels (where there were large caves, there are cities.). And finally imagine the fact that dwarves IMC tend to have their very own way of doing everything - and to try to make it very difficult for other races to pierce their secrets (an expansion on Tolkien's concept that dwarves preferred not to let other races learn their language if they could help it).All of this said - what do you think a dwarven map of their kingdom would look like?Speak your truth, ENWorld!</blockquote>
