It was my goal to finish the city of Siuvna in Garlis before mid-october, the whole city and suburban area up to the “everything-but-buildings” level of detail. That’s because this is the start of a period where I have only very little time for OGF. However, I did not succeed. But that’s not too bad, I like the city very much so far (not everything, but the majority). What do you think?

There’s one important language issue: Garlis was supposed to be Romanian-speaking, but things developed a bit differently and it seemed more logical that the “homeland” of Romanian in OGF is Antharia. So user @stjur supposed that the Garlian language, which is his creation, might be some type of “Proto-Romanian” - and I liked this idea very much. The problem was (and still is) that I don’t speak Romanian and I’m also not good at imagining a “proto-Romanian” language, due to my missing knowledge of Romanian language evolution. So here I want to thank @stjur for his help with naming streets and squares and all the hints he gave me for the language. At least the place names (towns, cities, villages, suburbs) are almost all my own creations.

I have to reduce my mapping time in OGF during the next months, but I hope that I can spent an hour or two from time to time.

Happy mapping!

I love Siuvna. It is the perfect centerpiece in a triad of cities that are Cranz, Siuvna, and Palast. The crown jewels of the middle Egyt mountains. This is a very important region to me because the Kalmish missionaries “discovered” Pretany by traversing the mountain range through that area in 300AD. You have done an amazing job and good luck on your endeavors outside of OGF.
