Need lore acurate info on Daggerfall city location

Post » Tue Aug 30, 2011 5:09 pm

I'm working on a text-based game using Daggerfall quests, dialogs and the awesome biography generation system. The game will feature a map of the Illiac bay region and this is where i'm having trouble. At the moment i'm using these maps from the IL as a reference:

These maps have a scale but are missing latitude and longitude values.

This maps hints about lat and long:

But i can't quite figure what is the correct value for Daggerfall city. Can someone help me with this? Thanks.

I don't think anyone has bothered to make latitude and longitude values for any TES maps. Hell, I don't think anyone can really point to you where the equator really is, as it's only showing Tamriel, not the 4 other places around it, let alone the entire planet.

@Mingorau


The number of the map west tamriel go as follows:

Latitude goes from 10 in the top left to 60 in the top right.
Logitude goes from 40 in the top left to 15 in the bottom left.

But I think your biggest problem will lie in reconciling the different maps. They don't fit at all.

@Hellmouth

Redgaurd came with a map that had long/latt on it. The West Tamriel map is derived from that.
