Cartographers

Post » Thu Dec 08, 2011 12:56 am

The Tamriel (Oblivion) map says 'Natalia Dravarol' -3E433

The Skyrim map says 'Nataly Dravarol' -4E182

Are these a line of cartographers that name their descendants something similar to Natalie or what?

I assumed the Skyrim cartographer was named in honor of her predecessor. "Dravarol" is a Dunmer name, no? Maybe a daughter.

Or possibly it's the same person.

Pretty bad amnesia if it is, not been able to spell their own name and all.

It's possible for it to be the same person, time-wise. The change in name is odd, but it could be attributed to the fact that the person preferred to write it that way later in life.

But that's just a guess.

Anybody checked if her name is in the credits? Might just be the actual name of the artists or her characters name.

It's a variation on the artist's name. Her real name is http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Natalia_Smirnova, not sure where the Dravarol comes from.
