✥ The Carta ✥
✥ So amuse my thoughts for a second! We have a few things we need to sit down and think about here! We all know that The Grand Weaver created the B’alam and their world correct? Good, so we are on the same page. Now let’s stop and just think for one second. There is a map to the world…is there not? Yes…there is! So where did the map come from? We could always say, ‘Well…you know…The Grand Weaver just popped it into existences’ but that would be no fun. That’s actually kind of really boring and defeats the whole purpose of my plot idea! So let’s just move on away from that now!
✥ I got this idea from another shop I was once a part of and from a random contest I won this pet in. Going through my old pets from my previous shops, this one just kind of hit me like a brick! Which was sort of mean of him…but that’s beside the point! Now we know there are the chronicles who record special encounters within the B’alam world and write down the stories…thus the history. But who was it who wrote down the map? And records any new colonies on it and what not? No one as far as I know!
✥ So there are a total of seven different kinds of B’alam…I believe there should be seven certain B’alam who travel the lands within their respected breed, and draw out the map. Then every month or so, they meet up and put their maps together to create the world as a whole! Now I know that seems a bit short, but I wanted a short version or I could go on about this forever. So I will get to a better point now…
✥ Long story short…one B’alam from each tribe was created by The Grand Weaver with the purpose to record the lands within his/her tribe. They record…in detail…every rock, tree, and colony territory. Then about once a month, they all gather in an agreed location and put their maps together to create the world map. Each takes their copy of said map then go back off again to continue mapping their own respected tribe lands. After all the world is brand new and seems to be ever changing.
✥ Now unlike the Chronicles the Mappers or, as I like to call them, The Carta (Map in Italian) they can take part in normal, daily activates and stumble into open role – plays, or ones they are invited to, and take part in them. They don’t remain out of the picture and hidden but are actually very active in their Tribes and the world as a whole!
✥ So what do you think? Hope you are still with me, if so let’s move on!
