The Road to Tiamis

[Mouse]

An odd question I know, but I just can't decide how to pronounce this. I have always pronounced it like Tee-A-mis, with the emphasis on the middle syllable. However it occurred to me that people from different countries might be pronouncing it very differently. Like Tie-A-mis, Tearmis (i.e. each syllable with equal emphasis), Tyamis, Tee-arm-is, Tyarmis, or could it be one of those place names that's spelt nothing like it's said? Like Featherstonehaugh (pronounced Fanshaw).

Pronounce it however you like, Straf, though by the sound of it you and I say it the same way - probably because we are both Brits

Very beautifull map

Thank you Akae

That is a magnificent map, and a wonderful evocation of place. I love the 'As the crow flies' North pointer.

Thank you Deodand I think you may be the first to recognise the symbolic meaning of the compass. You are at least the first to comment it

I can't believe that this map wasn't nominated for a Cartographers' Choice before. Every part of it is exceptionally well done: the drawing, the colours and shading (the clouds in the background, especially), and the design and concept is very original, too. It ticks every box, really.

What can I say... this is awe inspiring stuff... It's a beautiful and graceful work of art.
