As you all know, I've been very slowly developing the world all my characters live in and the history of said world. Well, a while back I altered, updated, and finalized the world map in which I'd be setting these stories in, and I commissioned (with the help of friends, of course), a clean artist to make it look like a proper, respectable map with shading, textures, and some context.

Well, I come to you humbled as I post this. I honestly don't know what to say other than "WOW!" This looks gorgeous, and about as close to perfect as I can imagine without having directly projected it onto the screen! Rachez, my reaction may have been somewhat dulled by the fact that I was laying on my side, not feeling well, when I initially got it, but things have changed and now Im telling you that I'm in love!

anyway, as time goes on, I'd love to zoom in on the map details and add things like landmarks, trade routes, cities, villages, and other smaller, minute details, but as it stands I really don't think it's something I ask ask her to do. I'd love to, but I feel I've already taken advantage of her as it is.

Anyway, this is my world map, and it has been my desktop background ever since I got it, and I've not grown bored of it yet! in fact, every time I look at it, I love it more and it inspires me to write!

Anyway, Here's a bit of a cool trivia set, which I'll add to as I imagine it:

1 - Many of the northern nations are loosely named after porn stars I love. See if you can make the links!

2 - Klyneth, and Ceylon's mountainside lake are both located in Saff'Rald. That mountain range in the southwest of the lake in the middle of that country is where the Dalonian Gods all conversed to study and become what they are.

3 - I hate apostrophes in fantasy naming with a passion, but it works in Saff'Rald because it is the nation where the gods came together, and ultimately came to rule, making it the unified nation of peace where all citizens and species can live happily. It's big enough to encompass many different terrains and dialects. They have never been involved in a war in the time that the gods have ruled.

4 - Almost all of the stories I write take place in Saff'Rald, including all the porn stories and the Vore House of Klyneth.

5 - A Matter of Pride, the story I started but will be rebooted soonish, takes place in the northeast, along the lake-heavy border between Yelfrit and Endra.

6 - The novel, titled "Dalonian Gods" Takes place in the continent on the southeast corner, focusing on the political strife that occurs between Trithe, Balico, Koluma, and Rissen.

7 - The whole world's surface area is I think 51.5 million square miles (or was it Kilometers, I don't remember.) Or, if you drew an oval around the entire continent of africa, including the water and land. The landmass accounts for about the same as just alittle more than all of Australia combined.

8 - The axial tilt is only 17.3 degrees, making it have less intense seasons, but less hospitable poles. In fact, the poles remain cold enough that that haven't been properly explored, meanwhile the equator remains hot year round, though there aren't as many deserts as you'd think.

9 - The population is, I think (Keep in mind this is memory, I have the data somewhere) about 450 million worldwide. I need to look that up.

10 - There are 6 continents. Kaidu and Nosemma are both part of the continent with Sosemma, Bloche, and Itanobel. The other 5 are all self explanitory, and can more or less be attributed to each massive landmass.

11 - There are two versions of the world. the "True Fantasy" Version is the one my novel comes from, and it has history and the like, and lacks any of the vore or magical sexual practices from my stories. The "Sexual Fantasy" World is the version where all the stories take place, where The Vore House of Klyneth happens, and where all the deviant sexual fetishism is free to express itself. The map is the same, and many of the characters are the same, but they serve different purposes, and that's how I keep them separate.

so there you have it! some facts and figures for Dalon! and perhaps some insight to the workings of my mind!
