Ridgelands/Lainalten Region
Posted: Sun May 08, 2016 6:31 pm
Worsas had some questions about this region yesterday, as it is currently a large number of cells with nothing special planned for them.
On the region map I tried to outline an idea I had for this area. http://i.imgur.com/dDeWOlM.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
A set of cliff terraces with an inclining elevation going east. The most abrupt vertical elevation would be at the border of the Reach, creating the effect that worsas has described several places of the rest of Skyrim as being of a higher elevation than the Reach. I think the whole area, from the Farmlands to Eldersblood to Sundered Hills, could be a new region called "The Ridgelands" or something to that effect. It would show some elements of the Whiterun tundra, but retain some more mountainous qualities compared to the mostly flat tundra.
I've tried to sketch my ideas here:

I don't know if this makes much sense to anyone else (perspective is hard), but compare it to the region map. This is looking east from approx. Beorinhal (though at a much higher altitude obv.)
