Thanks to you and Eficus for the precisions. Sounds awesome.

so is this considered 60% alteration?

Aren't "Karthwasten" and the "Karth River" spelled with a "K"?

I like it. It works as a background for now. :shrug:

@Booty - I think so. The guy must've missed that detail.

not bad... I really want to know what the x's are for tho... :sadvaultboy:

Nice! Something we can use legally on the forums that serves basically the same exact purpose as the official one.

Everyone either assumes that they are Daedric Shrines (which there are too many of) or the Standing Stones - which seems likely since one of them is right where Todd found one on the road to Riverwood.
One way to find out for sure is make your way to them when the game is released.

Side note: Anyone else loving the road system like I am? Much more improved than the massive circle from OB.

Dude.....most triumphant map! (30 bonus points if you know where "Most Triumphant!" comes from)...But seriously its like you used Campaign Cartographer or something. And I wouldn't care if you did because that is hands down the best map of Skyrim I've seen on the web so far. :thumbsup:

Wow

Apparently they're marked in red text on the map but so are two other towns.

Yeah, Falkreath and Morthal should not be written in red.

That's why I asked in the first place. So subsidiary question: what does the "red" means ^^?

edit: ok. Thanks Alexandur.

Theres really no point in it being hd when theres no details to be seen, its just solid colors everywhere.

Oh that would make sense (Standing Stones that is)

and yes... love the new road system... makes it feel larger than in oblivion

The map creator must be mistaken, Morthal and Falkreath aren't major cities like the others. Just human error.

Too bad there's not a whole lot to speculate about besides the crosses (which most people agree are Standing Stones, but we'll see, you never know) and the Lake Jorgrim vampires whose name I forgot.

Can be written both ways, with "K" or "C" for now, but in the final and official version it will be written with "K", almost certain.

Isn't it Ivarstead? (Ivar is a male nordic name, stead means place, town)

"Aivarstead" sounds wrong, even though I know that in the russian leaked map it was written "Ai", not I , but still, that may just be their version of the name?

That's the case for more things. I made myself a list of everything on the map including my own speculations and alot of things just sounded wrong.
I can only assume that's because of the direct translation from Russian.

Obviously they did! :nod:

It is K, the C is undoubtedly a mistaken translation from Russian since they make the same sound and thus are interchangeable if you don't have an official letter for it.

It may need a little editing, but I like it. Saved to my pics.

And I also like the roads.

Is it going to be - Aivarstead, rather than Sunguard? Perhaps it is a translation issue?

Also there is 6 missing "X" ...

1. Southeast of the word "Eastmarch", a little above where the road make a corner to south and touch the "line" of the mountain...

2. Below Riften and a little east to the other "X" (yes, there are two "X" just below Riften)...

3. Very near left (west) of the "C" of Carthwasten, in top of the 2^nd mountain... Or just below of the "M" in "Druadac Mountains", same place.

4. In the lake Klinalth...

5. South west of lake Henrich, where the road turns north (in the end of that montain "line")...

6. and the last one is very hard to explain... Lets see, right below the words "Velothi Mountains" there is a big mountain; to the right is another mountain, not so big. In the end of the "line" of that little mountain, where the red dotted line is, is also a "X" in the russian version of the map.


BTW, the red dotted line is the boundary between counties, is not roads.

It's probably spelled Ivarstead. No Sunguard in this game. Aivarstead is a incorrect translation.

What do you think that lines like this _I_I_I_I_I_I_I_I_I_I_I_I_I_I_I_I_I_I_I_I_I_I_I_I_I_I_ are?

Dunno, could be a way to show land dropping off that isn't as significant as a canyon but it looks very awkward.
