Reply With QuoteWell... it has been a while...
quite long time, and i've done nothing...
So while i was drinking a coffee and had my sketchbook before my, all of a sudden i started drawing houses, and it become a map... So at home, I redrew it in Illustrator, put it on a parchment and now, well, i'm posting it here.
This is a mountain village of Camoa, Alana. Alana is very village-ish, but I'm sure in twenty years it will be become a smaller town, there are already some citylike concentration of the houses in Dadoro near the river Patan. The river Patan has it's spring in the near mountains, and comes directly from the glacier. Patan isn't very big yet, but it is already navigably for smaller boats, and the Alanese use it, to ship the metal to the bigger towns to trade it. Metal is most Alaneses income. The little farming that they do, is for them self, and the two bigger farms Soro a Sallane and Soro an Batoma have mostly sheeps and goats. The wool they get from the sheeps is known through out Camoa, and is used to make all sorts of clothes. Salanasoro is the third farm, and it is build and run by the local metal company, to provide enough food for the workers.
The landscape is hilly, but the hills are quite steep. The water is all year round cold, and not even in the few warm weeks its warm enough to take a bath. On the other hand, the birch grove that follow the river on each side is pretty romantic, espescally in spring. The birch is everywhere, the woods are a mixture of birchs, oaks and a lot of berries. The berries are also an important resource for the Alanese.
I hope you enjoyed this little geographic lesson about Alana, i might add some sozial facts on some other day...
