Hello all!
Monday... Yay...
Rendering... I'm a bit behind of things, partially because the electric company decided to cut the power for unannounced maintenance work. Annoying, but overall it is in okay shape. Might take couple hours longer to get where I want to be. But that being said, one and half scenes left to render. Not that it matters much as is since renders take the time they take, but it gives and estimate of how things are.
Writing in other hand, thanks to the pause in rendering, is in good shape since got to write a bit more. So I'm happy with it mostly.
And then we have a small chat with Riya. I realized that this update might be rather short for some people, Riya stuff can be missed. The Gladeling things can be missed if you didn't invite them to the village, or got the others killed. The gladeling decisions while helps the progress, are separate from the love interest choices. Just in case someone was wondering.
And then it is time for... these. I don't do holiday specials, they rarely make sense. And I kind of like doing these renders, they are simple to do, and just some light fun over all. Anyway, time to do more stuff...

Nice update 
Lots of places are being mentionned, it would be nice to have an in-game map in the codex, or in the quick menu to better situate relams and other lands.

I know, I just suck at drawing. Even with proper "map creation" tools... >.< And trust me, I've tried... often. And will try again soon. >.>Nice update

Well, so far we've got "the North" which is, I assume, North of Qishu. Qishu itself, and a desert region. It's not too much to keep straight. There were a couple times in TRS2 where I thought of a map, but at that scale it's kind of silly anyway.
Technically, that would be easier. Just take a galaxy map, and put things in random locations. Who is to tell are they right or wrong? >.> Also random fun fact, the last world visited in TRS2 (pre-epilogue) is an actual space co-ordinate (unless I fudged it up which is highly plausible). It's basically the very tip of Sagitarius arm if I recall correctly.
Thankfully in fantasy world that is on par with medieval times on tech, even if there's magic, you can just make very simple and rough maps. No need for too much detail, accurate maps were not a thing until surprisingly recent times, and in some cases the governments spread maps with false details. Reason for those false/extremely inaccurate details was usually to hope your enemy believed those maps and tried to attack from a route that puts them in bad position.
You are overestimating my ability to even draw a straight line...
Good news, those maps don't need straight lines.You are overestimating my ability to even draw a straight line...

As long as it's not the American west, most maps don't have a lot of straight lines.You are overestimating my ability to even draw a straight line...
Or old colonized nation, those straight borderlines are still causing shitshow.

US/Canada border.
But in the old days borders were more like the Star Trek TOS neutral zone than sharp lines.
That's because in the old days, borders were drawn with terrain features in mind. Basically what is good landmark for border, that was chosen when the borders were drawn. Rivers, mountains etc... were ideal in use for border landmarks. Of course the stronger nation usually had heavy influence in how those landmarks were chosen etc....US/Canada border.

Amazing when you think that around 14 U.S. states are (in their entirety) north of the southernmost point of mainland Canada (Point Pelee on Lake Eerie - south of Detroit)
