A couple of years later I got serious and took my hand drawn map and drew it out in a fairly accurate illustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, I&#8217;m no artist, as anyone will tell you, but I spent a fair chunk of time and came up with something that looked like a real map, though it was just an outline for the continents, the political boundaries, and the capital cities of each country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I knew that, while the map was better than nothing, it wasn&#8217;t up to par and since the next volume, Journeyman has our hero literally moving all over the continent, I needed a better map. So, I commissioned one based off my old map. Here is a reduced detail black and white version of it. I have full-color, full resolution versions which I am going to make available to folks who sign up to my email list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"1140\" data-attachment-id=\"63\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/zdrell.com\/blog\/2019\/02\/new-map-for-the-continent\/skyrla-grayscalemedres\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zdrell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Skyrla-GrayscaleMedRes.jpg?fit=960%2C1140&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"960,1140\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Skyrla GrayscaleMedRes\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zdrell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Skyrla-GrayscaleMedRes.jpg?fit=253%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zdrell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Skyrla-GrayscaleMedRes.jpg?fit=862%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/zdrell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Skyrla-GrayscaleMedRes.jpg?fit=862%2C1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zdrell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Skyrla-GrayscaleMedRes.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zdrell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Skyrla-GrayscaleMedRes.jpg?resize=253%2C300&amp;ssl=1 253w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zdrell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Skyrla-GrayscaleMedRes.jpg?resize=768%2C912&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zdrell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Skyrla-GrayscaleMedRes.jpg?resize=862%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 862w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<!-- Begin Mailchimp Signup Form -->\n<div id=\"mc_embed_signup\">\n<form action=\"https:\/\/zdrell.us19.list-manage.com\/subscribe\/post?u=74da2917f5481ee838a554a6e&amp;id=6f56a3676c\" method=\"post\" id=\"mc-embedded-subscribe-form\" name=\"mc-embedded-subscribe-form\" class=\"validate\" target=\"_blank\" novalidate>\n    <div id=\"mc_embed_signup_scroll\">\n\t<h2>Subscribe to our mailing list<\/h2>\n<div class=\"indicates-required\"><span class=\"asterisk\">*<\/span> indicates required<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-field-group\">\n\t<label for=\"mce-EMAIL\">Email Address  <span class=\"asterisk\">*<\/span>\n<\/label>\n\t<input type=\"email\" value=\"\" name=\"EMAIL\" class=\"required email\" id=\"mce-EMAIL\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-field-group\">\n\t<label for=\"mce-FNAME\">First Name <\/label>\n\t<input type=\"text\" value=\"\" name=\"FNAME\" class=\"\" id=\"mce-FNAME\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-field-group\">\n\t<label for=\"mce-LNAME\">Last Name <\/label>\n\t<input type=\"text\" value=\"\" name=\"LNAME\" class=\"\" id=\"mce-LNAME\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mc-field-group size1of2\">\n\t<label for=\"mce-BIRTHDAY-month\">Birthday <\/label>\n\t<div class=\"datefield\">\n\t\t<span class=\"subfield monthfield\"><input class=\"birthday \" type=\"text\" pattern=\"[0-9]*\" value=\"\" placeholder=\"MM\" size=\"2\" maxlength=\"2\" name=\"BIRTHDAY[month]\" id=\"mce-BIRTHDAY-month\"><\/span> \/ \n\t\t<span class=\"subfield dayfield\"><input class=\"birthday \" type=\"text\" pattern=\"[0-9]*\" value=\"\" placeholder=\"DD\" size=\"2\" maxlength=\"2\" name=\"BIRTHDAY[day]\" id=\"mce-BIRTHDAY-day\"><\/span> \n\t\t<span class=\"small-meta nowrap\">( mm \/ dd )<\/span>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t<div id=\"mce-responses\" class=\"clear\">\n\t\t<div class=\"response\" id=\"mce-error-response\" style=\"display:none\"><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"response\" id=\"mce-success-response\" style=\"display:none\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>    <!-- real people should not fill this in and expect good things - do not remove this or risk form bot signups-->\n    <div style=\"position: absolute; left: -5000px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"b_74da2917f5481ee838a554a6e_6f56a3676c\" tabindex=\"-1\" value=\"\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"clear\"><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Subscribe\" name=\"subscribe\" id=\"mc-embedded-subscribe\" class=\"button\"><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n\n<!--End mc_embed_signup-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quite a few years ago, while I was still working on the first Draft of The Apprentice, I sat down and did a rough map for the planet Klastra and the continent of Skryla, where the action takes place in the trilogy.
