    Default Morning All

    Names Carl
    Age 28 (soon to be 29)
    About me: I work in IT support by day, dad by night, and writer by weekend. I'm working on a fantasy book at the minute (about 9 chapters in), and now at the point I need a map. So I've come here to learn how to do it. I looked at the tutorial by Arsheesh so will be trying that, but GIMP is alien to me as I have used photoshop for the last decade or so.

    Wish me luck!

    Welcome to the Guild! As an avid book lover I can't help but ask what type of book your writing.

    My book is about a handful of nations defending themselves against another continental nation (Nordreyjans - Imagine vikings). Nordreyjans have been given the ability by their god of war and god of fertility the ability to breed legions of soldiers, which fully mature in 1 year with the skills of their best warriors, but the catch is, they eat more than the average person...lots more.

    The plan for the map is to have 2 continents, 1 unified under the Nordreyjan banner, the other a handful of nations.

    The book has some diplomacy, and then an Emissary is sent from the makers (their worlds version of gods) to unite the nations. However some choose to side with the Nordreyjans and it is basically espionage, deception, war...all set in the viking/medieval times.
