For those who are curious

I have drawn a map of the Kimony Isles (well, for the second time) and it may help with understanding a little more about the geography in A Skeleton Duet. I don't pretend to know a lot about maps and geography stuff, but I did once read a great tutorial by a guy who did and therefore this drawing is halfway credible.

Yeah... The general idea is that they once existed as one big island and then split into several after a big volcanic explosion or just by general sea-level rising. Take your pick, I'm not that bothered really.


Also in this map I've pretty much only written in the island and capital city names. It doesn't mean that these are the only cities/towns that exist, it's just that my creativity ran headlong into a wall and is still staggering about with concussion. It's mostly because I've been trying to be halfway realistic with the place names and been looking at suffixes and prefixes for English towns and their meanings, whilst obviously making them into place names which don't already exist. Making it hard for myself, yes, I know. I'll probably get around to naming other places when I've exhausted the existing locations.

To see this a bit bigger you can right click and open the image in a new tab. I could work out how to do it with one click but I honestly can't be bothered. Oh, and please don't ask me what the place names mean, I can't remember anymore.
