NARRATED VIDEO VERSION
Hello and welcome to the Development Chronicle XXI for Legacy of the Zodiac II. This week I completed mapping the Torrential Plains, and I began mapping the Capital City Taladas.
As I said I completed mapping the Torrential Plains. I had to name them the “Torrential Plains†instead of “The Torrential Plains†because the latter was one letter too long
. The Plains overall is 70 maps, I woke up bright and early the morning I mapped them (6 A.M. EST) determined to complete them, I had 46 maps left to go and I went straight to work and finished them!
Here is a one screenshot of a map from the Torrential Plains, they are Plains so there aren’t many trees (only one or two every few maps), mostly grass and such; you can’t see it here but from the massive amount of rain they get the middle of the plains is basically a big lake that empties into the ocean.

After that I began to map the Capital City Taladas. This is the LARGEST city in all of Inngard, as well as the largest city in the whole world. It is the home of the Senate as well. It totals at about 70 outside maps (Not counting the insides of houses etc). I started by mapping all three entrances and the main roads coming off of the three entrances which all lead to the center where you will find a 9 maps Courtyard filled with lush grass and trees. Here are a few screenshots of what I mapped so far...

In the above screenshot you can see the main southern entrance to the Capital City Taladas.

In the above screenshot you can see part of the southern Main Road of Taladas, this particular one leads to the Courtyard of Haven as you can tell by the incline at the top of the map.

In the above screenshot you can see one of the maps from the Courtyard of Taladas, the Courtyard is also the grave site for the Senators.

In the above screenshot you can see the middle map of the Courtyard of Taladas, the large statue in the middle leads to The Crypt of the One, where Grand Senators are buried. Yet Grand Senators obtain eternal life, so how could a Grand Senator be buried there? If there is only one Grand Senator, how could there even be more than one if they have eternal life? You'll have to wait to find out.
One other thing I did this week was switch to a different theme on the Blog, it is still made by One Winged Angel Studio, it’s just that it is a different one of their themes. It is called Whitepaper 2.0 Beta; and me and Euth think it is better than his other one; post a comment with your opinion!

That is all for this week, see everyone next week!
