Daily Doodle (9/13/25)

You single handedly started a hyperfixation.. It's such a mysterious place! That would be kinda fun to have the mountion so much closer lol. Actually, I used to think the well of souls was connected to the ancient grove and that the mountain of Malefor was separate lol.

Shattered Vale theory:

While it's never explained who lives there, the fact that there was enough people to "warn" was also interesting to me. Who knows, maybe that's where the Cheetah villages were originally, and that's why the one we see in Avalar was so small and simple in construction. Why the chief holds such animosity. I have a little HC that the cheetah aren't from that part of Avalar, but were forced there. Maybe females and cubs are hidden somewhere while the males are trying to secure a safe location for the village.

Here's a map I made with "inkarnate". I only used free assets, so excuse some oddities.

Some edits you'll notice:

-The compass is weird, I know...But I didn't want to shift the whole map.

-While the in-game map shows the catacombs to the left, I personally think they were behind the Burned Lands, taken there to bring out the Golem.

-I moved the dam because I HATE that there's a dam stopping the ocean from getting in, seemingly for no reason. I guess to make a dry passage? Maybe it was meant to stop the Ruins of warfang from folding, idk. It makes more sense that there's a dam to redirect the mountain water to feed the dragon city/lands, which is why it's such a big deal and a huge risk to destroy it.

-There's a mountain pass that Hunter's leads us through to get to the City safer, but he's captured before that, so I have a ridge there, as a way to separate the provinces. Before the volcano was erected by Malefor, this line of smaller mountains would have continued.

Lower map, Islands:

-The leviathan below, is the same one that helps Spyro in the first game, after we see some islands that resemble Tall Plains. It helps guide Spyro to Volteer. This is the same leviathan that saves him when he flies off and nearly drowns after the Fellmuth Arena, traveling all the way to the White isle.

-These are all based directly on the maps from the games, with some assumptions. The dark spot I assumed to be Boyzibig, the mountians assumed to be tall plains and the leviathan faces towards Dante's inferno, and that errie shaped island is concurrent skies, where cynder has her metals from Monitions Forge sent.

-Most importantly, concurrent skies looks very similar to the White Isle. Gems and light sand... So I wondered if the chronicler is hosted on one of 100s of small islands beside it, making it nearly impossible to find him.

Myabe the islands make more sense to the right, but given how the orginal map hints at this big area above it., it juist made more sense, yknow?

Meanwhile in the world of Avalar....

I’ve been playing a lot of the Reignited Trilogy and decided to add a dreaming Spyro piggie to the guinea pigs in hats collection!
