Floating Castle Map

So, while the early freedom of the Floating Castle was very nice, I think it's about time we had some kind of Map of the main town. It's getting to the point now where people need locations and guidance for where things are. I mentioned to Pixel that I'm happy to do this, so I'm taking suggestions for the kind of map designs you'd like to see. Do you guys want a classic, medieval map ior something a bit simpler? I am aware that any maps we made would have to be big enough to have some empty spaces so things can be added in the future.

I know the following locations which kind of need to be included, and I am also interested to know where you think a lot of these places should be.

Existing locations.
  • The Guardsmen's Building, is in the same place as the City Hall, probably a separate building, but same basic area.
  • Main Square, surrounded by various buildings, mostly stores and merchants.
  • The cliff Marcus and Mirae shoved all those poor cows off (there's still one down there btw)
  • The Podium leading to the other floors, in the Main Square in the middle of the town
  • The Forest (which I refer to as Pan's Forest)
  • The Library
  • The Residential Districts - Containing Inns and housing
  • Salvantas' School (the remains of)
  • Salvantas's Sewer Base
  • The Slum areas
  • The Church
  • The Blacksmith (within walking distance of church)
  • The Apothecary (there are a few of these).
  • The Temple - Outside of town itself.
  • The warehouse Seire and Giselle invaded, probably near the woods).
  • Farm and all associated constructs (these guys have to eat after all)
  • City Gate

Possible future locations which have not yet been featured, but which I could leave space for
  • Park area of some kind
  • Rich District
  • Thieves District

Anything I missed? Is there some way to indicate the underground entrances (though the Underground is of course, unmappable.)

Heroes Unlimited sewer base and main base. The school was reduced to ash by Tenzami's mage.

For possible future locations: the waterfall and mountains that can be seen atop the Library Tower, in case anyone ever goes there.

Seire's warehouse is outside of the city proper, located on a hill in an old district of crumbling warehouses, overlooking the warehouses in the front and some woods in the back, with a large lake in them. Also, there's an old aqueduct running from the lake, through the warehouse district, then into a channel beneath the city walls and flowing into a reservoir. This should give you enough details about the terrain to adequately map it out. ^^

Okay, I'll work on running up a VERY ROUGH pencil and paper plan of the city tomorrow, so anybody has anymore suggestions, please let me know. Everything will be run by Pixel and Eli before it's finalised, so they'll be seeing the rough versions first.

What about the gate leading into the city?
