Talk:Portal:Geography

Change
I was thinking a change in the way this portal is structured would make it a bit more aesthetic. You can see how it would look here. I was just wondering if anyone tthinks it'd be preferable to the current version. There is one small hitch though as I cannot seem to like the two sides of the portal up without setting the whole thing to over 100%. I'm trying to the get the map and featured article part to be a bit less wide. If anyone can help with this, it'd be appreciated. Cheers! Johnnyriot999 07:33, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I think that to decrease the width of the Faerûn map, we'd have to totally redo the image-map, as mapped images can't be scaled, not sure about this though. Zerak talk 15:20, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

How about a map and more geography of Post-Spellplague

Equator?
Where is the equator on Toril? 115.133.247.187 21:20, September 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * I don't think we have any canon source that tells where the equator is, but you can look at the map in Cartography and read the explanation of how they derived the latitude and longitude lines. You can also eyeball this non-canon image:

and get a feel for where the equator is. This may be distorted depending on which skin you are using, so click on the image and choose "See full size image" or whatever works for you. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 00:13, September 14, 2015 (UTC)


 * Described at Candlekeep FAQ, the map of godly influence in Faiths & Avatars shows a map with the canon lines of latitude. The equator runs through the top edge of Zakhara and southern Kara-Tur. — BadCatMan (talk) 01:39, September 14, 2015 (UTC)


 * Is there a scanned copy of this map from Faiths & Avatars anywhere on the Internet? Or would that be violating copyright? 124.82.61.82 15:58, September 17, 2015 (UTC)


 * It would be fair use to display, as it's unique and useful in two respects (showing both pantheon influence and lines of latitude and longitude). But there are copies online, though not legally. You can Google it, like here (should be top row). — BadCatMan (talk) 23:46, September 17, 2015 (UTC)


 * Would displaying the image-in-question like this (http://www.mediafire.com/view/0p09cloua3h625e/map%20from%20Faiths%20%26%20Avatars%2C%20supposedly%20showing%20the%20equator.jpg) be fair use?
