Hi.

I'm Stephenls. I show up most places White Wolf games get discussed online. I'm the guy who makes the Exalted map, which people seem to like and which can be found here:

http://hd42.de/rpg_exalted_maps.html

I need help with something, and this seems to be the best way to get it.

With the advent of the Fair Folk book, I've decided to change the format in which my map is offered -- specifically, I'm removing the map version that doesn't contain the Fair Folk information from Kingdom of Halta. That's not what I need your help with, though.

I've never included non-confirmed locations on the map. There are a lot of places that get mentioned that aren't included because I have no idea where they'd go, and I like to be precise. Spider's Crossing on the Blessed Isle is a good example. However, I want to change this. I like the fact that my map only includes confirmed locations, but I'd like to include a version that also includes all locations, even ones I had to make a guess at.

Problem is, going through all the books in search of locations I haven't put on the map? Way too much work for me to do.

This is where I'd like help. If you, the wiki community, could, here, on this page, help by listing location names and page numbers of locations I've missed, or haven't included due to uncertainty, I can start putting them onto a new, guesses-included version of the map. (Of course, I'll still produce versions without these guesses, for people who are as anal as I am about canon.) It would help if the format were something like...

  • Abalone (Corebook page XX, supplement page YY. Brief description of location.)

(Instead of sorting it alphabetically, perhaps it'd be better to always put new locations at the bottom of the list.)

If it gets substantial data in multiple places in the books, I'd like if all book mentions were listed so I could make the best guess as to where put it, but even one book reference would help.

(By "locations" I don't just mean cities. I also mean nations and barbarian tribes.)

I can't guarantee everything will end up on the map, but at the very least there'll be more info than there is now.

I don't know if this is a lot to ask. I haven't really used wikis much before. Still, I think it could be doable.

Conrad]
  • Nechara Redoubt (The Outcaste pg 43, as part of Nechara)

Besides, it kills two birds with one stone, by potentially giving us the location of some of those secret gates, Conrad]
