I've had mapper's/writer's block the last few weeks, and had almost given upon finishing the article about Alphatia for Threshold. But then today(I guess that would be yesterday as its now 1 am) I had a breakthrough while riding my motorcycle. Below is a simple map of the city; I'm leaving more detailed street level maps for another project. The map is a combination of Stargate's Alantis and Plato's Atlantis. The central hub is a city ship as in Stargate, and the surrounding piers have been built up as add-ons during the centuries that the city has been in place. The city itself is inhabited by the wealthy elites and nobles of the empire, with privilege increasing the closer one gets to the citadel. The city is floating on a lake at the mouth of Alphas river, and the city of Aasla, inhabited by the common people is on the mainland surrounding the lake.
