Brandenburg, Firanji and New Switzerland

[miketr]

By chance does anyone have or be willing to do an outline map for these three?  I saw some maps for Brandenburg in a thread at the bottom of the page.  The big lakes for Firanji aren't needed just the coast.

I am doing a map project but I am not the best drawer in the world especially of maps.

I've done outlines for Brandenburg and the Swiss home islands.  I'll try to dig them out tonight and fire them your way.

[P3D]

I also had a few, will look around.

Well, I made these. Where Zeelandia should be based on underwater topography. Got booed down for being too pedant and too far from Australia. Originally Google Earth.



Then there's this on Firanj and Indian Ocean which you need. Originally Encarta.

Take One:  New Switzerland
(With current in game version off World Map)


Take Two: New Switzerland
(Taking into account some of DF's changes)


Final Take:
Not yet finalized...work in progress.

Based off the island of Numenor

Ah Numenor then that would explain Everything.....  Damn the Corrupt Numenorian survived and their Island didnt sink  :'(

Numanor? Isn't that where this guy'sfrom?  ;)

[ctwaterman]

Ok,,, I have this all figured out...
The Secret leader of the New Swiss Republic is Annatar, Lord of Gifts.   

If you dont understand the reference your Tolkien Foo is not up to Par....  ;D

Well if one takes Rohan's "history" into account Numenor sank some 10,850+ years ago.  It is possible (maybe) that some of the lands resurfaced, but the majority was broken up by the "braking of the world".  It is in roughly the right place to be Numenor anyway relative to North America.

It doesn't have to be Numenor, but it was the easiest thing to use as a model, plus it gives the Swiss (or others) openning to find old ruins and such.

[Sachmle]

Oh, THAT Numenor..so that explains the giant frog shaped island in the middle of the Pacific ocean.

I think the one "giant" pixel islands on the southwesst side of New Switzerland were suppose to be real world island. (the older image off the World Map)

I think is was suppose to be Wake Island.  And it isn't pictured on the new map.  Best guess it that it is just out of frame to the south of the larger southwest island.  It might be in picture, just not marked.

This places New Switerland between Wake and Midway.  Or the eastern most islands due west of Honolulu, Hawaii roughly 1,250 miles away, just across the International Date Line.

What's the chance of getting some kind of definitive 'topographical' map of NS, with major landforms and cities marked?
Would be interesting to see everything pinned down into an immutable form- and necessary, too.

Patience people, everything will come in due time. I have a war to fight first, which if people start jumping in will take longer than necessary.

I have NS location as between the Hawaiian Islands and the Marshall Islands.

A war that might require those maps, if the Swiss are fool enough to get involved.
We need to know our enemy.
We need the maps.

On Goggle Maps satellite view there is a slightly higher area in the central Pacific between Wake and Hawaii which corolates to pretty closely with the World Map location (that also is pretty much between the Marshalls and Hawaii)  (the mass of Swiss islands covers a rough 500 square miles area)

That places New Switzerland around 1,000 miles west from the Island of Hawaii (Big Island).  About 200 miles east of Wake Island, and maybe 300 miles northeast of the Marshall Islands. (and roughly 350 miles South by Southwest of Midway.)

Topography (based on the Numenor map I have), would have most of the Western large islands be hills with the northern most island being very mountainous at the nothern cape (there was a tower in those mountains).  The broken up center was mountains, but most of that is gone in the destruction.  Much of the rest that survives is plateau or downs.  The Southeastern Island was heavily forested at one point in time.

The volcano that use to be at the center (of Numenor) was reportedly 14,000 feet high)

There was a major port in that sheltered bay on the northern western island.  Aside from that the other major populations centers (that aren't underwater) were have been on the two paired islands just east of the center with what looks like an overgrown river between them.  The only other major town that might  have survived  would now be on one of the inner penesula on the norther western islands.

I'll attempt to show these old locations for possible Swiss use as the locations for modern cities.



The towers are on the mountains of Sorontil and Oromet.

Andunie use to be the major western port.

Romenna was the major eastern port.

Armenelos was the old capital and was inland near the base of a mountain (sort of like Minas Tirith I guess)

The Ruins on the map would be for the outskirts of the town of Ondosto.  The center of the city is under water.

Most other major towns were in low lands and thus destroyed, though there could be some on the larger island to the southwest of the center, just before the collection of broken islands to the southwest.

While the ports would be low (and thus destroyed originally...but then everything was detroyed originally), the area around them would still make the location viable for shipping.  Sheltered bays and the like.  Though with all the little nooks and crannies, the Swiss could have their ports almost anyplace that is sheltered.
