Would it be possible to make a > similar map of Elyria? Ahhh. It's _possible_, but . . . The problem is that I'm just not familiar enough with Elyria to know where to draw the meridians. Elyria's map has a significant area of land "beyond" the equator, so the interrupted polar projection I used for Qaiyore isn't suitable. Some form of Sinusoidal projection is probably most appropriate, but I'd have to figure out how a standard sinusoidal projection is drawn first. Then I'd have to figure out where errors and distortions are most acceptable. (Placement in Qaiyore was determined by the southern cold zone and a cold Tanimbar.) Niether is easy.
