    Default The Kingdoms of Efforopotamia over the millennia

    Dear community,

    After a long time of inactivity here in the forum, I would like to start a project again. Two atlas double pages of the four-stream-region “Efforopotamia” are planned. These double pages will include a larger political map and an equally sized economic map showing the vegetation in the “present” as well as eight smaller historical maps showing the region over the last 3,000 years.

    Efforopotamia is the region on the Glenndom continent where the cultural origins of advanced civilization on Glenndom lie, where, over the course of the four desert streams, people first practiced division-of-labor agriculture with irrigation and thus formed the first strong small towns and later large cities that rose over the centuries , were rivals and, not least because of this, developed quickly culturally and economically.

    First of all, two maps that make it easier to locate and classify the region. The region is a desert and steppe region crossed by four major rivers. Two of the rivers are full of water and navigable throughout the year, the others can shrink into small water graves or run completely dry in very dry summers. The region is bordered in the north and east by high mountain ranges, in the south by the sea and in the west the land runs into what feels like an endless and inhospitable desert.

    Here is the first work around the region, first of all the coastlines, the rivers, the indicated mountains and the cities and roads in the region:

    Damn, this is so cool! I love this concept of an fantastical atlas, it feels like seeing another a glimpse from another dimension.

    Thank you very much for your comment, Ink_alpinist. I like to incorporate the history and geography of the region under consideration into my maps and so I usually have a map on the screen but a story in my head.

    I have now continued or changed and adapted the upper half of one page and inserted the associated text as well as the map legend and the scale. The region is shown in the first centuries after the first cities were founded on the Mardii, Purat, Isuhr and Idigna rivers
