A World Revealed

Vily

Hello there, adventurer!

Your presence here tells me you share my passion for exploration. My name is Vilelmina Penrose, though friends like you get to call me Vily. I’ve had my share of adventures back in the day, but for the past decade, I’ve been working with the Wonderers; the church of Silanthas, god of travel and commerce. Now, don’t get me wrong- there’s not a single pious bone in my body, and everyone here can vouch for that! But here I found something I wouldn’t trade for anything.   You see, Silanthas is a subtle god, one who values the journey itself. His creed isn’t about rituals or devotion- it’s about the thrill of travel, discovery, and exploring the unknown. That pitch won me over, and, well, let’s just say I’ve earned my spot as the order’s best cartographer (of course!).   But enough about me. You’re here for a map, aren’t you? Lucky for you, I’ve got just the thing.   To find the right path, you need the right perspective, as I always say, so take this, friend. It’ll serve you well in your travels. And there is no need to reach for that pouch of yours. This one is on me. I love helping young explorers such as yourself embark on their first journey.   Welcome to Kena'an.

Author's Notes

This article was created for Tillerz's Unofficial Mapvember Challenge. A special thanks to Tillerz for the inspiration, as this challenge also sparked the creation of Vily's character! I'm sure you'll see more of her in articles to come!

You found a portal-quote

"Just as he was about to lose hope for his people, the sword he carried with him at all times started to glow. He triumphantly raised his sword in the air, so all could see it. It glowed so bright that it was as if Saol had come down himself to give us his word and none could ignore him. Their faiths were restored and upon seeing his sword, gave the man the name of Lightbringer."
Activate the Portal   Then return to the Anvilgate to cross it!

This map is amazing. Not just for a first try, but in generell. Period. I really hope that my world map will turn out this great one day.

Thank you Leijona, you are so kind! It was in my mind for sooo long, but I had neither the tools nor the time to engage. I'm very happy with its current state but I can see a lot that needs some refinement. Wonderdraft was a very helpful tool to make this happen :)

I was wondering which tool you used, now I know. I'm using Inkarnate myself, so I only knew that it was most likely not the one you used :D

I wish I could have played Vily a little more! She was my character in a very short one shot, but I couldn't let her go so she became part of my world :)
