Alright guys... I think it's about time we had a map layout for the packlands, don't you? Well, I have had the continent drawn (Thanks to Sphinx) and now it's your turn to fill it in! What do the packlands look like in your head? How are they layed out in your mind? Now's your chance to make it known! Here is a picture of the continent of Aelyn. You design the terrain and the packlands. Eventually, I'd like to have a map of the terrain of Aelyn as well as a map of the pack territories of Aelyn. Above is the image for Aelyn. Fill it in as you see fit! Once we have at least (if not more than) three entries, we'll vote for the best one or the one we all feel fits the forum and packlands best. Please either post your entries (Links only) or send the link to my inbox VIA PM. If you want to design something, please also post in this thread so I know how many people to expect maps from! Good luck and remember, this is a friendly and fun event for everyone!

Don't forget about what each of the sections look like (Here they are in more detail)
Sacred Circle A place of mystery and enchantment, this circle of stones sits in the heart of the packlands. Where did it come from? What is it's use? That is for the Packs to decide and to dictate what rules the land shall abide by. This, is the sacred meeting place... a place of peace and harmony, of the Four Packs under the divine and the great Ancestors of the Stars. There is a large boulder, the size of a speed boat, give or take, in the center where it is said that the great ancestors themselves perch in times of peace. This place has small places, as if it were meant for the four packs to meet there.
Misuteriasu Mountains Conditions upon these mountaintops can be very hazardous. Vicious snowstorms and blinding winds tear through these ranges. The numerous caves and dwellings found here provide a great place for shelter and the conditions are a great defense to any oncoming attackers. A very strategic place to begin a pack. The mountain range is large with several areas where the river splits and falls into waterfalls. There are some hot springs in the area as well as some forestry.
Fukai Waterfall This beautiful waterfall is a wonderful sight for any. It falls into the beautiful Fukai Lake. Behind the waterfall is a large cavern, a perfect spot for a den, should you not mind constant dampness. The pathway leading behind the waterfall is very slippery and dangerous... only those well equipped or well balanced can get through unscathed. Very strategic for a battlefront or a place to keep enemies at bay. This is also the home of the Masquerade Pack. There are several different waterfalls that fall into various sections of the river that eventually converge into one river again, but there is one main waterfall that falls into the lake. Boulders sit here and there.
Toko Forest This forest is thin in some places, while in others its very dense. Several fallen trees make for great overshelter for a nicely dug out den. Small prey is plentiful, though it is just that... small. There is the occasional deer, however, which is a tender treat. Roots and rocks litter the ground, so those without a careful step are sure to have difficulties.
Nigori Marshlands These dense, murky lands are trecherous to any who do not have a careful eye. Quicksand and deep mud pits make travelling difficult, though if you can get through the perilous landscape, deep in the center of the marsh is a large cave, hallowed out by a lake that once stood in its place. This ground is slightly below sea level. There is also trees that grow throughout the lands.
Kumori Plains This area is a land that belongs to no one. No wolf can claim this land. The plains, filled with wildflowers, tall grasses, bounties of prey and very little shelter, makes for a poor place to seek a home, though a home can be found here beneath some dug-out hills or fallen trees. There are also some boulders that stack against each other to make a sort of shelter as well as few scattered boulders.
Remember that these are just a basic idea... you're more than welcome to put in your own interpretations of the lands as well as any features you think could make each unique in its own way.
You can add features to different parts of the lands that aren't mentioned.
You're more than welcome to make this and create things that you think would do the packlands well or other landmarks and features that you think should or would make the packlands even better.
Good luck and have fuN!

- White represents mountains. The sharper the points, the steeper the mountains.
- Gray represents mountainsides or rocky/ or bare areas of land.
- Blue represents water. Large areas are lakes/ ponds/ large rivers, while thinner lines represents runoff or smaller streams.
- Orange/Tan represents a steep plautue where the mountains abrubtly end and where all the runoff comes together to form a waterfall.
- Light Blue represents waterfall.
- Light Green represents light, jungle-like foliage surrounding the Fukai Lake.
- Light Purple represents murky, wet, muddy marshlands.
- Dark Green represents thick, while spaced, forest foliage. Including pines as well as decidious.
- Yellow represents the plains, owned by no wolf. 'No-man's-land'.
- Red represents sacred circle, located in the center of 'no-man's-land'.

Thank you Punkeh! After we get, maybe one or two more entries, I'll go ahead and hold a poll and allow people to vote on their favorite.

After the contest is decided, you might have to alter the pack descripctions a bit. Another thing, I've never heard you mention the "waters of Aelyn" before.

Yeah... It was something I added after I worked on the map... It's just surrounding waters that could eventually develop into more land or something.
And I can live with the rewriting of the packlands a little bit.

I mean, it's not that I've never RP before. I'm one of the most advanced roleplayers on my favorite site.
This one just has a different set-up.
