Mapping 2
Here’s a slightly update version of the map, along with a legend for the places listed. Not as much as I would like to have, but a good start. All names are the “english” equivalents. Culturally prevalent names will be added later.
The Landing Sea - created when the first ancestor fell from the Dreaming into this world. His splash created a ring of isnaldns, where he later made a home.
Life Island - where the first ancestors first made a home. It is asaid to hold great mysteries and power but is now off limits. Horrible storms blow all travellers away if they come by ship. The pass at the south opens during these storms for those that believe.
Herd Island - the primary lands of the novel - though to be named for wher ethe original ancestors found the most plentiful source of herd animals. In truth, it was a cruel label given by the First in repsonse to the people that would come to live there - simple followers - herd animals.
First’s Mouth - legends claim the impact of the First Ancestors left a funnel, a mouth that sucked the wonders the First had brought with them back into the Dreaming. It is also said that the storms originate from here. In truth, theis is the Great Father’s prison where he keeps both his children locked up for fear of an uprising, and his father whom he was able to imprison, but never kill.
