Ranger and I were talking recently about the AoS plot (recently read, about ten minutes ago from the time of writing this) and both of us agree that to our characters the areas the different factions control would be super important knowledge, so that we can be as precise as possible with our posts. I know I discussed this with a few of the Ferals earlier and they didn't seem to have a clear idea of the size of their range or the location of it, which is of course not really an issue in general, but for certain characters it might be.

I'm not thinking so much as "From third ave to Broadway and as far west as the Manhattan island coast line" but more of "Here is our central point, we control and actively enforce our control over X sort of radius and would consider Y radius as our own though not actively enforcing it." That sort of deal.

For example, say we have the group called "Sexy manly hunks of the wastes" (or as Ranger calls them, "The Argonauts") who have their central point in Times Square, there are four of them, they actively enforce their control over the "Square" itself, and consider their territory to be everything within a quarter mile of that border. That sort of thing.

Feel free to be a bit more vague than that, and talk among yourselves (or maybe leaders lay down yo law) Overlap can be exciting, provide thread opportunities, so don't be put off by it. plus attempts to expand territory, gang markings, have a bit of fun with your turf, and in general describe how you imagine it Us nomads gonna be threading in several of these places, so we'd like to know the deets.

Love you Guys!
Cafabulous.

P.S. The SMHotW is not a real group... Though we can't rule out their formation.

P.P.S. I will try to produce a map from the information provided.

I made a townie thread precisely to set up some ideas on the town's location. Jorge is still settling in I think and he has the last word. My suggestion was Central Park, near the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis water reservoir and maybe some buildings near it as well.

I'm cool with any decision its made, though it does get a little confusing when one is trying to add in the details to a post. Are we living in tents or inside broken down buildings? Do we have any defenses set up?

Once we get a map, it's much easier for orientation purposes and if we're headed this or that way, we can add reactions to what we know is over there.

The Amazons will be claiming this piece of turf: zoomed in linkie. Assume that the central square there is at least partially covered with a bone fortress, and the ruins left as ruin-y as possible. Quick movement through rough terrain is an Amazon strength; there ain't no easy roads to our place.

Not that we defend: we fully welcome small parties of travelers, in ones and twos, to stroll past for lunch. Larger groups might find the place empty when they arrive, but they're welcome to step inside and wait for our return~

The Pit and it's denizens control liberty island, as well as a few launching pads and weapon storage areas on the mainland.

These storage places, may I assume near a dock of some sort?

Also anyone outside of the settlements and groups, the neutrals, drop me your location, I'll try to add it.

Questions and revisions please be in the thread This one, I can't be trawling the plot and your posts and everything for locations guys

That red part is 20yds or so built up of steel girders, huge shards of glass, dust, deathtraps, covered holes that look solid but cave under you, dropping you to your doom. Think impossible to walk through unless your character already knows the way, or walks at a yard a minute.

lol, "Georgetown".

*snerk* Georgetown indeed...

Anyways, Cafas! There is one location I forgot to mention in the map. My second, Agnes Nicholas, is going to be living in that park that is up, across the river from Central Park. The park's name is the North Hudson County James L Braddock Park.

Description:

The Hive Lands:[/u]
Agnes, former Horsewoman of Pestilence for Sebastian’s Church, has run off into solitude after everything that happened. Because of the part she played in allowing it to happen, she became her greatest and worst fear; the thing that her parents always feared she would become. It was the realization of this, as well as the loss of her love interest Rebecca, that drove Agnes in solitude with only the surviving insects at her disposal.

Moving into the grounds of the North Hudson County James L Braddock Park, Agnes soon began to tap into her more primordial nature. Soon legions upon legions of insects were drawn to her, at her command, and wanted only one thing…for her to be safe. Using the resources from the land and ruins, her insects built for her the Hive Lands. Barren of most resources, the Hive Lands consist of massive mounds, similar to this, that vary in size and shape. Some only reach about ten feet high, others are massive enough to challenge most skyscrapers. It is in the tallest and most massive one that Agnes Nicholas, the Queen of Swarms, resides.

From there she listens and watches through the blankets of insects that skitter in droves across the ground and buzz through the air. They have orders that only a select one or two are allowed into her lands. All others, well, her troops do need to be fed.

Enter at your own risk…

Hope this is okay with you, Cafas!

Yeah; most Pit controlled areas are coastal, with basic docks for ferries.

Sebby's church is close by Central Park. It's right on the border of it, across from the big reservoir.
