Fate of Tekumel products will be based in Thraya and the rural areas around that great city. This weekend, my friend Rachel Kronick, the author of the Blade & Crown RPG, started helping with the design of a Fate zone map for the city of Thraya, with city aspects for the different points of interest.
We are building the design based on Professor Barker's hand drawn original map of the city. At Rachel's suggestion, I used color pencils to fill in the Rananga River, noting the city walls, marking the ways to the nearby Sakbe roads, and calling out several of the most prominent temples in the city.
It was a good suggestion.
The photo above shows the map before lamination. I'll be bringing several to U-Con for my game there!
Oh, and the temple of Thumis is filled-in using grey, but rest assured: it is not a fortification!
I am weak on my Tekumel lore... Where is Thraya located?
ReplyDeleteIt is in southeastern Tsolyanu. A tad southwest of the Desert of Eyayi (sp?) and a few hexes to the west of the Forest of Gilraya. It's one of the most populous cities in Tsolyanu, as well as one of the oldest. It was one of the Three States of the Triangle, which is something!
DeleteThe map looks great!
ReplyDeleteThe Professor made great maps no?
DeleteThat looks great! :-) Do you have a scale? Or, better yet, can you estimate the distance between the center of the terminus towers of the southern wall?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment! Sorry about the delay in responding. We just got back to the Twin Cities from U-Con last night! The map does not have a scale, so I'd better leave it to the more experienced military minds to estimate distances.
