The map looks much different than I envisioned, but I actually like it better! I only have the following input:

- Halvera needs to be completely surrounded by mountains since it's described as a "remote" kingdom.
- Bryn doesn't need to be as surrounding by mountains since it's visible throughout the continent, but it should still be central.
- I'm not ure if Miram will be kept on this continent or moved to another one since it wasn't part of the main storyline.
- Is the region for Svinkati, Hildar, Eldunn, going to all be on Mannheim? I'm not sure if it has been decided yet. It would make sense for Hildar to be present since the arena comes early in the game, though.

when u say bryn can be seen throught the continent,does that mean theres still mountains surround it and little passageways where u can see the city? what do ya mean?

Your dad is a smart man. PNG is my favorite format: variable bit depth color, alpha channel, lossless compression. In other words- high quality image with small file size. I actually use PNG for all the sprite artwork in TMJ for the transparent backgrounds.

I kind of picture Bryn as being in the north central region of Mannheim with the northern ranges extending right into the ocean.

ok... what i was asking though was: imagine bryn.. as it is right now in my current map.now, what if i erased part of the mountains where it would look like valley's connecting each city. a little different for Halvera and Berit
