Thomas J. Arnold's latest update for Exile, Magus

Oct 23, 2015

That time of the week again.  Update and map Friday.

I was quite excited to read the news of the changes coming to the funding model 10/30.  I'm sure most of you have already heard of them, so I won't go into detail here.  I will say though, that any of you who have followed but not ordered should order before 10/30 if you want to get in at the super low price of $9.99.  Starting 10/30 that will increase due to the changes, but if you order before then you'll still be getting it for the lower price.

Other than that I don't have much to say, since I don't want to bog you down with details of what I'm doing in the background.  So, with that out of the way its map time.

This week it is The Top of the World.  Again I apologize for the quality, but I'm a horrible artist and this is perhaps the most simplistic area of the world.

This is the world's north pole, which I suppose in hindsight makes the compass a bit misleading.  While only a few days northwest from the Dragon's Head Peninsula by boat, it is one of the most unexplored regions in the world.  This is in large part due to its unusually high population of quite old dragons, as well as the near impassability of its seemingly unnatural mountains.

The hole at the center ranges from 20 to 30 miles across and seems to have no bottom.  Most legends say it was formed at the conclusion of the Demon Gods' War some ten millenia ago as a result of the final confrontation between the Demon King Cirdresse and one of the twin elven goddesses Saeriscia Lataria.  These same legends also claim that the hole runs through the world and that a nearly identical opening exists at the south pole.  No one has ever been brave enough to try and verify this last claim.


That's all for this week.  Thanks for your time and support, and keep reading.
