Equestria map updated, here's where my own locales are... · 11:45am Oct 15th, 2015
So, this happened. What's Really the Most Important rewrite has been stalled while I wait for Season 5 to wrap up. There's been incredible changes lately, and as we know there was an interesting story turn in S5E18. Did you guys notice the link I had in my last blog? I wrote a recap/reaction!

Anyway, forever being cursed to desire to update my crap to HD, so to speak, I'm constantly thinking of how to bring WRTMI up to recent FIM events, possibly the end of Season 5, but I'm unsure whether to move the canon beyond Crusaders of the Lost Mark, sort of how I halted the current WRTMI canon at Sleepless in Ponyville/Wonderbolt Academy. Why not just drop all this crap and continue it as is? I'm not happy with it, simple as that.
Still working off and on on the next chapter, which as stated before will be the last one I release for WRTMI's current version, but as I said, I need to figure out how the story will shape around recent FIM events.
For example, the map above. In my headcanon, moving East from Baltimare, you across an ocean comparible to the Atlantic to reach Saddle Arabia in the continent of Osyrios, a name that is both homage to their God, Osiris, and the land of Ossyria in MapleStory. Saddle Arabia is boardered to the north and east by the Calm Lands, marshy wetlands home to tribes of thestrals. In contrast to the region name, they're at constant war. The northern coast of Osyrios is home to Griffon Peaks, a mountainous, harsh region with ancient, gigantic trees. Continuing north across the Pale Sea is the icy Dragonspire, comprised of several small volcanic islands surrounding a larger one, ice floes where the water currents remain cold and an endless glacial tundra surrounding the islands on all sides but the south. On the island is the capital of Drakenheim at the foot of Mars, a supermassive composite volcano with the Temple to Heaven at the peak, which itself is as big as a small mountain. It is so named because one of the ruling dragons of Dragonspire is the Gold Vizier, rumoured to be a diety in a mortal vessel and the most powerfully magical dragon in the world. And a bit of an asshole.
Some of this would've been relevant to that Rapidfire side story I was working on for a bit. Sorta makes me wanna continue it, but I've gotta focus on WRTMI until it's actually started to move again. But, yeah, I might need to shuffle some... continents around. I may need to throw everything to the West, rather than the East. We'll see. Have the party depart from Las Pegasus instead of Baltimare. That would be freakin' awesome. The best thing to be said is that I've been invigorated writing wise lately because of how damn fantastic the last episode was. It was sorta like how Sleepless in Ponyville got me writing in the first place.
The map was expanded?
3472105 yeah, the first sentence up there has a link. The lands to the east are now there, the crystal empire and yakyakistan have been added, the rock farm, the Ponyville castle, etc.
3473294 Do you know where I can find a link to a high resolution version of this?
3473315 I think I had one saved at home, I'll check for you.
3474002 Thank you!
3474004 Damn, this one was the one I had saved:

Unfortunately, it's pieces put together and you can see the divide :/
3474195 Ah, I'm sure someone will make a high res version. Where did it originally come from anyway? Hasbro?
3474506 Yeah, it's in the Art of Equestria.
