Gæa is a fractured world following the meteorite crash.
The first maps I made were quite simple. But at least they had the merit of helping me visualise some things, especially when it came to understanding distances.
A single central continent, the location of where the Sidh meteorite fell, the Case (l'écrin in french language).
In short, I didn’t need much more at that time. Later, in order to integrate it into the book, I took it back, trying to start from my «base». It’s fun to note the differences after.
The Case is lower than on the first version. The mountains frame the western area much better, and the small details of the old cities are more explicit on the new version. The town of Acritas is located a bit further north. Skyveils Islands (îles des voilecieux) seems much closer to Ambrosia now, which is more logical, we will see them a little further in the saga.
This is what the continent could have been before the impact of the Sidh meteorite. I confess that I did not use complex formulas to calculate the impact relative to the exact diameter. But who knows if in the future I will not take this map again!
In the meantime, I preferred to focus on the environment of the characters and the bestiary.
