The Map!

Or at least its beginning. One of the worst aspects of creating a whole continent is that I am the only person that gets to see the whole map until it has been completely explored and the results published. However, coastlines are hard to hide, so the players will get the chance to see where the edges are at least. Below you will find the rough draft of the map with the coastlines laid out and the oceans painted in. I will complete the map but it will not be displayed in its entirety until exploration has been completed. Remember that this is postulated as a very large peninsula thrust northward from Antarctica.

the new continent, 
the large island on the right is about the size of the Prussian Empire,
the small one on the bottom left is the size of the British Isles

this is what the map of Daftrica looked like in its final form

you can imagine how this would have changed their planning
