Expanding the Map

1. Expanding the Map

   Having set sail over the western seas to the new lands, caesar193 gazes over the waters at the horizon. A strip of land is there, hinting of mystery and wonders. And most of all, it hints of making caesar193 a middling minion of the great Cartography Guild of the Old Land.
   
   What I must Write:
   1. Create one location sub
   2. Discover 3 locations that lie within the previous location.
   3. Create a sub detailing the history of one of those locations.
   4. Discover one fauna or one flora, both never-before-seen (naturally), that exist in this location
   5. Create one religion worshiped in this location
   6. Discover one plot that may occur within the confines of the first location sub.
   
   Things That Should Apply to Each Sub:
   1. Freetext 'Cartography Guild.'
   2. Voted a three or better.
   3. Links to the original (first requirement) sub.
   
   And with a hop, a skip, and a shout, I am off!

   My god. Has it really been a month since I pledged to go up a rank?
   
   Well, progress report 1. I launched the oh-so-great continent of Atheus today. So that's my first requirement thrown out. A sub per month? this might take a while. The good news is that I have another in the works. AKA stagnating in my "in work" folder. Maybe I'll get around to blowing the dust off and fighting the infestation of were-rats and were-spiders and were-dust mites. Or get one of my minions to do it... Hey strolen, wanna leg up with your guild requirements? Eh? Eh?
   
   Anyway, all joking aside, go check out Atheus. Its totally awesome, and deserves a 6/5. Of course, I might be a little biased.

   Well, I've revealed The History of Atheus for general discussion and high voting. And now you all now why there is only countries in the east.
   
   And it didn't take me a month to get it out! Woo-hoo!

   The Raveten has been released into the Citadel. That would be one fauna down. Only six more subs to go! It'll only take another year, if I continue my rate of one every two months. Or perhaps three months? I seem to increase the time span between subs by a month each time. Perhaps that is Mathom's Law of Gravitational Pull? As the amount of times procrastination occurs increases, the length of the procrastinating increases.
   
   Meh. Anyways, I have the religion that occurs in Atheus almost finished. In a month or two I'll blow the dust off it, and then finish it over the next month. Or sooner. Maybe. Mathom loves me too much.

   More progress. And it only took me a day. Hurrah.
   
   Anyways, Friar's Weed has been revealed. And yes, it isn't a religion. I'll get that religion I mentioned in my early report done. Soon.

   Worship at my feet, for I have shown unto you the way and the light and the true religion of Trianarianism! And this allows me to cross off yet another guild requirement. Only have to make up a plot and three locations for Atheus. Hmmm... the locations should be easy (capitol of Obstaria and Tauria, since those are the two biggest countries, and then some other... Wait! I could just do the holy site for Trianarianism, and thus tie that aspect in! That's a good idea, I'll have to remember it.), and for the plot, I can make something that is highly racist against the Barbarians.
   
   I've almost got my second level in the Cartography Guild! Just four more subs. That takes approximately a month per sub. This might take a while.

   A Raiding of Tauria is out. Don't worry, its totally awesome and well-worth the time it would take to read and give it a vote of 5/5. And a HoH.
   
   And as it is an Atheian plot, I can cross that off my guild to-do list! Awesome. And now to write up a bunch of locations.

   I should probably do an update here. So here is that update.
   
   Due to the recent site cataclysm, I lost my religion, Trianarianism, and my plot, A Raiding of Tauria. I just finished fixing Trianarianism, but A Raiding of Tauria still awaits fixing. The plot is not to be found, so I'll have to rewrite it. Unless, of course, some site admin person reads this and searches the entire citadel and finds it. That'd be great.
   
   Anyway, I'm working on Triastu, the holy city of Trianarianism, next, so the A Raiding of Tauria is probably not going to be done soon. As that about wraps it up, I'm going to go write now.

    Well, why thank you Strolen. I bow to your efforts in aiding but a simple Strolenite.

    Add the "Survivor" freetext to it!

    More progress. City Image - Triastu is officially done. Which means I can cross off one of my remaining locations that I need. Two more locations, and then I am done, and can hop into another Guild Pledge. Probably the Divine Synod, so I can share the religion of Lunism.

    Yahooo!

    Further progress. The Forgotten Cemetery is out, and now commemorates the dead.
    
    One more location left! And its only taken me, oh, six months to do. I am the master of efficiency and speed.

    I've finished my final location! Huzzah! The Circle of Culthus is done! Now all I need to do is wait for someone to vote, and hope its worth a 3. Then I'll be done with this Quest!
