showing a few major landmarks

The borders are general “around this latitude” border markers; the border itself would be much more wiggly, following the terrain. The higher border is a historical border, when Ossulund was Eretia, but the border has moved a lot through the centuries

The line in grey down the right-center of the continent is the highest elevation of the major mountain range; the absolute highest peaks are up in the glacial area, petering down to hills by Bitrani territory.

The large river in the middle is the Velka Ree (“big river”), the dot near that is Ossulund.

Although I’m contemplating making the planet slightly smaller than Earth, right now, a degree latitude is the same as it is on Earth – approx. 69 miles (111 km). The continent is approx. 2760 miles long (4441.79 km), 518 miles (833.64 km) wide at the widest point.

Because of the very uneven terrain, travel on goatback is approx. 15 miles a day, down to 10 on the rough parts. Much of the travel is via rivers, and, since the rivers generally flow from North to South, this is part of the reason Callenia is better able to conquer Bithrain than the other way around.

Sure! Census meme

Ganked from mmegaera, who ganked it from ann_mcn.

In 2011, I am living with my husband, with one cat, in a one bedroom apartment in Trumansburg, NY, between Seneca and Cayuga Lakes, half an hour from Ithaca, an hour from Syracuse and an hour and a half from Rochester

In 2001, I was living with my husband-then-boyfriend, two roommates, one of whom I’d used to date, and two cats, in Brighton, NY, a suburb of Rochester.

In 1991, I was living with my parents in their log cabin in Churchville, an exurb of Rochester, with two cats (different cats).

In 1981, my parents and I moved from a duplex in Spencerport to the log cabin we finished building (okay, they built it, I watched). We had a cat, who lost herself on the move.

In 1971, my mother had just turned 20 and my dad 21, and I don’t know where they were.

Unproductive

Started writing a to-do list.

Stared at it.

Decided tonight would be unproductive. And then, by Saturday, I’ll figure out how I’m going to go about the geographical/climate/biomic worldbuilding bits for Reisassan.
