MAPril 2024 Badge by Tillerz using MJ

 
This is an inofficial community challenge by Tillerz.  
Start:April 1st, 2024
End:April 30th, 2024
What:map(-ish)
  Participating in this challenge is fun, helps to create one more thing for your world, and you get some visibility. And you will probably connect with new people and find new tools in World Anvil that you never used before.   Some map ideas: treasure map, city map, world map, map of the grid (cyberpunk), map of the sewers of a city, floorplan of a building, ley line map, tree/map of a production line of goods/resources or of the languages or species in your world, etc.
In taverns snug, with quills in hand,
World builders gather, a merry band.
They sketch and draw with hearts so light,
Crafting lands of wonder, day and night.   Oh, hoist the pen and plot the course,
Across the parchment, with steadfast force.
For in this challenge, we chart our way,
To realms of fiction, where dreams hold sway.   Through mountains tall and valleys deep,
They paint the lands where secrets sleep.
With rivers winding, and forests grand,
They shape the world at their command.

Hi! I'm interested in your challenge and have submitted an entry below. I know it isn't much and I'm not good at drawing my own maps, but I decided to try nonetheless. Hope you like it :D

Succubus Cove
Geographic Location | Apr 14, 2024

Succubus Cove is a lush green-blue-and-violet meadow with a hot spring, as well as a giant fruit-bearing tree, in the center and large colourful bushes populating and surrounding it.

Hi Tillerz! Thanks for the reminder about this challenge... here I give you Fort Kustos. Did this as part of Adventure April prep, but works out nice for MAPril too!

The imposing castle that looms over Omberstad. It was constructed by Lord Protector Ackron De Kustos after the fall of Tokaru.

*peeks in* I actually made a "map" that I like! (I usually hate my maps. Lol!) It's a house floor plan, 2 stories. Drawn in Affinity Designer. No map markers needed. Hopefully, I can write the article to go with it soon. https://www.worldanvil.com/w/liminal-chronicles/map/6587d8f5-e285-44ef-b727-5dd1cd0067bd   Thanks for posting this fun challenge, Tillerz!

I happened to have started on a map in March, so your challenge was perfect timing. The first piece of content for a brand new world and in time for SummerCamp! I spent far too much time figuring out my terrain brush in photoshop but admittedly I had a lot of fun with it. Hope you enjoy!

Thank you so so much for this challenge - the article was already planned for the last WorldEmber and now I was finally able to write the first part. Of course I also had a lot of fun making the map.
