This is the map of Tiesia, a country with a mythology I am creating. It’s all in the works, but I’m pretty proud of this map so I wanted to share it.

Tiesia is a warm peninsula set in the Viesius Sea. It’s northern border is a nearly impassable mountain range, which has contained Tiesia to its peninsula, and kept it from fighting with its northern neighbor, for the most part.

The best way to travel back and forth between the two is the Kalnų Path, which then leads around the western edge of the country, connecting all of its cities. Western Tiesia is mostly forested, and is the more populated side of the country. The map doesn’t show most of the small towns that exist in the forest, but they all benefit from the Kalnų Path.

It’s capital is Sostinė, on the east side of the river Didelis which splits the country in half. Sostinė is one of the port cities of the country, the other being Kelias Miesto on the western shore, which is the nearest port city to their northern neighbor.

Eastern Tiesia has a large desert which covers the majority of the land, leaving most of the area empty of people. Tamsus Desert is stopped by the Tams River. There are small cities where the river meets the ocean, leaving the land more fertile. Eastern Tiesia does the majority of the farming, in the parts not taken up by the desert. There are also a lot of farms along the southern edge of the country.

In the south there is a large island called Sala. Sala is known for its amount of major temples, including the one where the oracle resides. The only major religious place that isn’t located on Sala is Magija’s main Tower which is located in the north east on the Kalnų Path, halfway between the first city on the path and the first port city, Kelias Miesto. Between Miestas Sventylos and Sostinė, all of the political power is in the south.

In the south there is land that Tiesia and its southern neighbor has fought over for hundreds of years, including islands to the south east, which generally consider themselves independent because of the constantly changing power over them.

So that’s a quick (or really long) over view of the terrain of a country I’ve been making up.

Put the dumbest injury you’ve ever gotten in the tags

Hell decided to break loose on my town and I don't want to do a tinychat with thunder.

I GOT MY CAP AND GOWN!

a lot of ppl in the notes of the previous post are mentioning museums hoarding stolen cultural objects which is important beyond measure but museums shutting down due to lack of funding will not result in repatriation of cultural materials, they would most likely be auctioned off to private ultra-wealthy collectors to recoup some of their debt and we'd never find these objects again let alone be able to repatriate them. i understand the desire to say 'fuck museums let them die' for this reason but it won't have the result you think it will, and it will also mean that all of their ethically sourced and donated materials (which for most museums are the vast majority of their collections) will no longer be cared for by experts but again, sold off to private collectors who can do whatever they want with them or deteriorate in storehouses indefinitely. this would be catastrophic for public history and collective knowledge-sharing across the globe across cultures, and museums in post-colonial and run by/for racialized or otherwise oppressed ethnic groups will fall first because they receive FAR less funding than the large western institutions. just repeating phrases and sentiments you've seen online as a form of performative activism without knowing anything about what you're talking about does more harm than good and doesn't make you look smart or clever just foolish it's so deeply annoying and frustrating

Every post where it says “history books leave this out” and “historians are trying to hide this from us” is just code for “I have literally never picked up a history book outside of high school history class in my entire life”

Ha ha HA HA HA

So I might have kinda broken my ankle, lol rip me. I might have also have done so by slipping on the top of the stairs of the bus and fell down the stairs and landed sitting on my ankle. Also, I might have walked around on it all day yesterday not knowing it was more than a sprain, with a forensics meet and everything. So yeah, rip me, lol.
