   That's it, I am joining this guild and figuring it out.

   Recommitting now. Going to knock a few out this week even if it kills me!!

   Got the easy part done. Voted and commented on over 3 subs the last few days.
   
   3 locations and 1 society are next on the list. Have two in work so the train has left the station!

   Not sure if I cheated or not with a base write-up and follow-up of Vartanadel.

   I figure I will do the Mines and the Shan as another location and society. I have a bit on the nobles too. It talks a lot about the capital as well as the nobles themselves. Will have to decide if that is a society or location after I am done.
   
   I might actually finally be able to enter this guild!!

   In my ongoing worship of Mathom I simply review where I am still am.
   
   I did the voting, no problem.
   Three Locations:
   Vartanadel subs as shown above. Going to count them both as one.
   City Image - Tanand (70% done)
   Vartanadel Mines - (30%)
   
   One Society
   The Shan (80%)
   
   I stalled because I had a moment of inspiration about all of it. You know how it is good to have a "secret" with each submission to have that unknown driving force that gives a solid kick. I figured it out for Vartanandel and I think it nicely explains why everything is the way it is, more or less. So trying to blend that idea into all the subs I have rolling. Tomorrow is my personal suspense for it! I will be a Cartographer Guild Member by midnight (GMT) tomorrow!!

   Good news and bad news.
   
   Good news. I have lots more ideas than I started.
   
   Bad news. I have to resolve and organize them all before I can submit anything.
   
   Moved out of focuswriter to Scrivener to try and meld it all together. I found myself popping around too much in the document and it started to piss me off. Scrivener allows me to have a coding style setup to writing...which I suppose I am more used to. Now I can break it all down and bounce around and work as I chase shiny ideas. I also want to be methodical about it so I can maximize my guildmanship. Will finish up this guild and start on another to submit the rest.
   
   I think I am enjoying this too much. Been a long time since I have actually sat down and wrote so much. I am having fun with it.

   Yeah yeah, go for it Strolen! Good to see Vartanadel getting a work out!
   
   You know, once you're done here, you could always consider letting your darker nature get the better of you; the brotherhood will welcome new members...!

   The Shan has turned into the pivotal part of Vartanadel so they will be after the Cartography Guild success!

   Location.
   
   http://strolen.com/viewing/The_Dragon_Mines
   
   I am finding this a little dry but I have so many notes that don't fit in certain pieces that I need to get the background down before I start with the magic and plots I have brewing, which are really what all this is moving towards.

    Final location!!
    
    This one has been sitting in my notepad forever. Finally pushed it out.

    Oh great caesar193, master of the Cartography Guild. Do I meet you requirements and claim the title of Cartography minor minion?

    (caesar193 dons his ceremonial robes)
    
    "Oh Strolen, Finder of Vartanadel and Lord of the Citadel, the Cartography Guild finds ye worthy of entrance. Henceforth, the Guild bestows upon you the ceremonial golden quill and inkpot. May your ink flow freely as you plot heights of the mountains and the depths of the caves. Follow Guild protocol, Minor Minion Strolen, and may your path in the Cartography Guild be blessed."
    
    The crowds erupt in applause as Strolen takes his bow, and walks out the golden doors of the Guild Initiation Hall.

    Yippie!

    Don't forget to follow Guild protocol! Hint Hint you're not following a rule hint hint.
    
    Maybe I should wait until a pledger does everything a pledger needs to do (like, say check The Brothers of the Map thread) before conducting the ceremony and hand over the quill and inkpot...
