cyrodiil county borders

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 12:40 pm

Wasn't sure where to post this but are there any maps that actually show the borders between the different counties in cyrodiil? although the counties are named in the ingame map it doesn't actually show the borders :S

Those are arbitrary sectors for splitting up the map makers, not county limits.

You're probably right, but then I have never really found anything to explain the county limits so I personally uses those as well... but then I maybe should have said that in the post as well.

The only definitive borders in Cyrodiil are the CS-coded regions. ie, West Weald, Nibenay Basin, City Isle...

Re-read his post, he wants the Map of Cyrodiil that shows the County borders not the Country borders.

seems weird that cyrodiil is split into county's but there are no county borders. but then again most of the county's don't even seem to have any significant settlements other than their capitals :S

Does countys need to have clearly stated boarders? Here in Sweden we dont have anything that clearly says that you have left one county and entered another one.

If you read Scandinavian texts that are a few hundred years old then you will discover that every man and his dog was engaged in the ancient sport of defining exactly which tree, steam, rock, etc marks the extent of his land and he will also keep a running record that goes back even more hundreds of years all the disputes etc over each square inch. Not surprising with all that going on there was not much time left over for mere county borders ;)

But given the nature of the Cyrodiilian Empire it is very surprising that they neglected such a thing. The architecture seems very anglicised and Old English maps kept careful records of County Borders they can be found in antique shops here. There was the original Doomsday Book that Wlliam the Conqueror created listing everything in his kingdom starting shortly after his arrival in 1066 - and ofc the frequent baronial disputes - so maybe it is something that is connected to the climate and nature of the land as well as the structure of the culture?

Looking at Morrowind, Vvardenfell has already divided up quite clearly by the volcano - and to the Great Houses the Ashlanders don't count. I can't remember maps in Daggerfall that gave such info - likely because it was because the map was 24 times bigger and a lot of it was generically, randomly generated - maybe that has sort of survived?

If you look closely at the in game map you can see areas marked as Skingrad County and such. I also think that the "Guide to xxxxx" books will sometimes have a bit of info on that. I havent read them so Im not 100% sure.
