Sort Of podcast with the PaleoPals and decided to check this out. Everything on this blog is fantastic and mind blowing. I used to do things like this in my free time -- but having no artistic skills it's all basically in my head. I just want to give a kudos to you, this takes tremendous talent, skill, creativity and dedication. Keep it up, I can't get enough of it!

What a great idea! Your talent is as immense as Orcura. -Paul P.S. This is a minor thing, but there's a small typo in your description ("Although it’s source is enduring" -> should be "its").

I don't mean to seem selfish or anything, but I'm the admin of the Speculative Biology forum, a rapidly growing forum dedicated to speculative biology with over 200 members and affiliation with other projects like Snaiad and Sagan IV. I would like to invite you (and anyone else who is interested) to join and share a few of your ideas, and maybe even pick up a couple. Anyways, even if you don't, this is still a great project with lots of attention to detail and great illustrations.

I had always imagined it being upside down and that east would be to the "left". It had to do with the origins of the continent itself and where it is sitting in context to our own reality.

One question though. Solturna is described as the westernmost territory of the continent Orcura, but the map shows it located on the right side, or eastern side, of the continent. Perhaps maps of this world use the convention of locating South at the top of the map, unlike Earth. That would explain my confusion. Bob Nice artwork. One question though.
