- @Simonpet I'm not including features of the original clan territories, not just because this is easier (that's a factor), but because I don't think many people would agree with my theory of where the second series is set, and I don't want to force it on anyone.
I think that the second location is in South-Central Wales, and the first is a little bit North-East of Bristol. Not many would appreciate me labeling the Thunderpath the M4, or the mountains between the two sets of territories the Brecon Beacons, especially if they disagree.
I'm not saying you're wrong for not following that idea, but I'd find it harder to explain the evidence in favour of interspecies cultural osmosis rather than convergent cultural developments, harder to explain how mountain lions are on the verge of extinction rather than Sharptooth just being a zoo escapee, etc. And I don't want to make it look like I'm saying it's wrong on my map either. Something being harder definitely doesn't mean it's wrong.
But showing my understanding of things on something showing everyone's things would mean I have to call everyone else wrong, and showing something I find to be unconvincing would be needlessly inaccurate in my view, and probably lead to me not caring so much about inaccuracies in everyone's views. If I made my own personalised version alongside, then I could, but I don't think it's prudent otherwise. I'm not even sure how I'd fit it all together, anyway.
It's really hard trying to phrase that to make it both clear where I think the evidence lies and that I have no issue with you not caring about that/disagreeing with that/thinking I have put way too much thought in and come up with not nearly an interesting enough answer to be worth that time (probably true...), etc., so in case it's not clear in that paragraph there, this is just a statement of that to be like crystal.
Me not including features I think of being there means that others can include features they think are there and I don't- and I have zero issue with someone adding them onto my maps later as long as they have asked people who might be affected by those changes about it or explicitly state that it's just how they see the map and is therefore not going to be forced as their clan's canon. Either's fine, just don't enforce it on your clan's neighbours!
Personally, I quite like the idea that individual clans are eventually finding their own moon-[objects] (I intend to have Gustclan do this in some capacity, though don't expect this soon), so I'd already think a lot of clans probably have other methods. I've always been running on the assumption that after finding the Moonpool, future clans had that as a sort of buried knowledge thing and so would look for their own later. Garden ponds are much more common than mines, so Moonpools are more common than Moonstones.
But... the idea of loads of clans hiking into two specific spots every single moon is actually quite entertaining, especially without the TARDISes idea, so I like it. If noone else wants to write that as almost their entire muse for a post, I'll do it. Just a random epic quest story for a post one time could be fun.
@Grey I have done some before, but that was about July sort of time, so I'm very sure they're outdated! But thanks for the interest~
@Hazil Of Course. Their looms are just not sufficiently advanced to include 12 other regenerations; it's an earlier generation model (regeneration model, if you will), if time-lord technology, so has yet to meet its full potential - as have timelords, they've yet to reach bipedalism, or to decide to travel back to the start of the universe and arrive on Gallifrey when they develop it.
I totally agree on the au front, feel free to ignore what I just said if anyone does.
I have gone on way too long, so I'm going to just submit this before it turns into essay after essay.
