This week, I focused primarily on map design, continuing to build out the new town of Naishon. Located east of Fallholt, this mountain settlement draws heavy inspiration from several Asian cultures. Despite sitting in a frigid alpine region, Naishon has become a popular tourist destination, thanks to its naturally occurring hot springs and resort. The town also features plenty of touristy shops filled with unusual knickknacks, local foods, and other curiosities that travelers can browse while visiting.
There’s still quite a bit to flesh out, but here’s a preview of how the town is starting to come together:
Naishon isn’t the only map I worked on this week, however. The Tundra Tower has also undergone renovations by the locals during the century since we last saw it. Its halls now carry a refreshed gothic–Asian aesthetic, giving the structure a new identity while still preserving its imposing presence.
I hope you like what you've seen so far! That’s all I have for this week. Until next time, everyone!
