Dusk Quill


I once was lost, but now I'm found. Just a quiet blue unicorn with a passion for the written word.

    My Journey

    So I've finally set aside the time to sit down and properly write out a blog post for you all who are still around (the one I promised in my last post seven months ago :twilightsheepish: ). I want to tell you all about where I've been, what I've been up to, and share my journey with you guys. You were all around for some of the best times, and I felt it's only right to open back up again and

    Well Well Well...

    Holy hell, that's a lot of notifications to look through! I suppose that's what happens when you disappear for... *checks watch* three years. Huh... I suppose it's been a while, huh? It would be shockingly rude and unprofessional if I was to just suddenly turn up again out of the blue, wouldn't it? Yeah, I guess it would...

    A Soldier's Memoirs Spoilers

    For anyone who read my last blog and doesn't want to wait around for me to maybe finish the Soldier's Memoirs series, I do have the entire plot mapped and outlined. If you would like some closure, some answers, or just a glimpse into what awaits, send me a private message with the title: Will the Sky Fall? and any questions or comments you might have. I'll be happy to provide

    I'm Sorry

    Over the past week or two, I've gotten messages from several of you guys asking if I was okay, if everything was all right, and just wanting to check in on me in general. I wanted you all to know that I was really touched by your concerns, and that I am just fine, but it also made me feel guilty. I'm sure you can guess why... I haven't written any new material for well over a year. I haven't been

    Dusk is a terrible, awful, no good, very bad pony...

    I have apologies to make to all of you. It's been close to six months since I had any activity here on the site, and even less for my friends outside of FiMFiction. I feel I owe you all an explanation and my deepest, heartfelt sorries. I am still alive, if just barely by now. These last few months, I sort of bit off more than I could chew with life. I took eighteen college credit hours in an

The World of Skyfall · 9:21am Mar 21st, 2013

A little while ago, I had promised to release my version of the world map to everyone, so you could follow along with the locations, get a sense of environment and destination, and really immerse yourselves in the atmosphere. Well now, I am pleased to announce that you can all join in.

Fillies and gentlecolts (ladies and gentlemen, for those of you tired of the pony idioms), I give you the world of Skyfall!

For any of you wishing to download the full resolution version of this, it can be found here.

This was all crafted by me on my own time and it took about twelve hours of my life from conception and draft to completion. This map is also subject to change as the events of Skyfall unfurl, and if it does get altered, I will post the most current version.

Let me know what you all think! :twilightsmile:

Pretty in-depth.

The only question is, what are those light green pock-marks in Saddle Arabia. Are those grasslands or Equestrian-controlled?

Silver out!

The darker shades of green on green, and anywhere green is found standing alone are either forests or fertile land in more arid areas. The map is more topographical than political. Saddle Arabia doesn't have any deltas, did you mean Zavros?

I see, never mind. I was thinking political map. :twilightblush:

Excellent work!

Silver out!

Personally, I believed for the land to be slightly .... well .... more land. I kinda expected the continents to be larger and chunkier and maybe incorporate other countries that haven't be introduced yet ... but I still have to say that its pretty good.
And it may just be me but doesn't the left continent look slightly ... VERY SLIGHTLY like the American Continents on Earth ...... just sayin :rainbowwild:

Like the legend says, size is not to scale. It was as large as I could make it in Photoshop without breaking a gig in file size. :pinkiehappy:

But nope. Like Earth, my version of the world is mostly water. We do still have six nations that haven't been physically explored yet, and a hell of a lot of Equestria untouched too. And as for the American reference... actually, kinda, yeah. That was... completely unintentional. :rainbowlaugh:

I did not read the instructions ..... I am a MAN!!!!!! :twilightsmile:
And I feel the upload problem, when I send data to one of my friends, it can take a while.

My advice for any future maps would be for the maps to be ... chunkier! ( :facehoof: dodgy choice of words but meh .... )
