The Canterlot.com Roleplay World Wonder where "place" is in our RP world, or looking for a location to start a new thread? Well now you have a central repository for all the maps and locations for the magical realm of Equestia and the lands beyond! This is the comprehensive location guide with maps and links to all regions. As with everything else this guide is open to future refinement and expansion based on revelation by show canon and created content by the users. A Brief F.A.Q For organizational purposes the world used for our World of Equestria and Canterlot Chronicles games is divided by catagories that represent geographical hierarchy: So what are provinces? A province is the top category that holds either a large geographical location or nation state. There are three provincial level sections: Greater Equestria - Which holds all the lands of the ponies. Aquellia - Home of all the Griffin territories. The Outlands - All the peripheral lands outside the first two provincial locations. Provinces as far as RP are concerned are top level forums that are simply containers for all the related regions (or sub-forums) for the sake or RP section organization. One never posts directly into the root of a province level forum. So what are regions? A region is a subsection of a province created to better organize the RP; they correspond to a geographical location within the Province. For example: Greater Equestria is divided into the following regions: Borderlands, Heartland, The Foothills, The Stand, and the Frontier, each representing a relative geographical position as indicated by the ( ) (parentheses) following their name. It is under the region level forum where one would post their RP thread. So what are landmarks? A landmark is a city, town, or geographical feature within a region (Examples: Ponyville, or Whitetail Wood). These are the specific locations referenced for the RP thread itself. They are not forum categories, but instead are tags one can assign when one creates a new RP thread under the appropriate region forum. So how do we figure out the location of the place we want to RP In? Listed below are the RP landmarks in each region that has a tag associated with it. In addition, each link has a more detailed regional map of that region is provided to show the relative location of the landmark, as well as additional names of nearby geographical features one is free to reference to describe additional locations within the RP thread if one so chooses (Note: This isn't a list of every possible geographical feature in the land, just the major ones, so feel free to name your own small brook, or rock, or other minor feature in your RP if it helps the story) Maps of the Equestria and the lands around it that we know General Map of Equestria and Nearby Lands: The Provinces and Regions of Equestria and Beyond Each link provides a description and a map of the province Greater Equestria - Home of Ponykind The Heartland of Equestria (Central) - A land of flowing waters and good earth Ponyville Everfree Forest Cloudsdale Trottingham Nimbusgait Lakes The Velvet Strand Vanhoover Map: The Foothills of Equestria (Known also as the East) - The Political and Economic Center of Ponykind Canterlot Canterlot Castle Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns The Veiled Garden Solstice Heights Hope Hollow Hollow Shades Garden Gait Fet Loch Tall Tale Town Foal Mountain Marelia Roam Calnais Hoofenheim Melodia Map: The Strand (Equestria South) - Equestria's Great Bread Basket Manehattan Whitetail Wood Fillydelphia Baltimare Saddleveil Plains Mustangia Hoofington Gallopocus Islands Corralwood Corral Okeanos Map: The Borderlands (Known as the Western Frontier) - The rough and tumble edge of pony settlement Dodge Junction Appleoosa Las Pegaus Roughrider Ridge Beakbreak City Bareback Gulch Gaberott Painted Pinto Desert Starlight's Sanctuary Map: The Frontier (Equestria North) - Home of the hardy folks of Stalliongrad, the jewel of the north Rainbow Falls Stalliongrad Sveltahorse Saraneighvo Seaddle Map: The Crystal Empire - A Legend Rediscovered The Crystal Gates The Crystal Plaza The Crystal Markets The Crystal Palace The Crystal Empire Farm District The Crystal Empire Arts District The Crystal Empire Residential District Map: The Outland Regions - The lands beyond The Badlands - The mysterious cold land beyond the frontier, here be dragons!

New lore topics are now LIVE in the Official Lore subforum.

Fillies and gentlecolts, we welcome you to this year’s Grand Galloping Gala! Once again, everypony is invited to partake in the pageantry and festivities of the annual royal ball at Canterlot Castle. Formal attire, delicious hors d'oeuvres, ballroom dancing; the Gala has it all. Don’t forget to greet one of the royal alicorn princesses; they love nothing more than to be swamped by gala goers all night. --------------- RULES: #1 - All WoE-approved characters are welcome to participate in GGG. #2 - Players are free to create their own GGG-themed RP threads as they please. #3 - Each player is limited to two characters per Sponsored Thread. Any character can be moved out of one thread and into another. #4 - A specific cast character can only be used by one player throughout all Sponsored Threads. The right to use a cast character in our Sponsored Threads is determined on a first-post first-served basis. #5 - Have fun!!! ^_^ This event lasts from 7/8 to 8/5. So let all our characters’ dreams come true... at the Gala!

1, 2, 6, & 11) What Blueblood said. 3) Rare and deadly creatures are found all over Whitescar; the Spine is merely the place where the biggest and baddest of them dwell. As a general rule of thumb, if a creature wouldn't look out of place in Skyrim, then it'll belong in Whitescar just fine. 4) Yes. 5) Not out of the realm of possibility. 7) That has yet to be determined, although if we do decide to promote Unofficial Lore, a lot of factors would have to be considered first before making a decision. Rest assured though, we'll take notice if you're a highly prolific and skilled writer of Unofficial Lore (ask Dubstep). 8) We'll naturally have to make small additions here and there whenever the show features a new locale. Funnily enough though, the new Lore expansion is going to feature a ton of new islands. 9) Only two seas have official names so far. 10) I see no reason why our world wouldn't have polar caps. We'll have to see if Brian can freeze up the northernmost oceans on the next map update, because that seems like a logical landscape (or oceanscape rather) to include. 12) We used to do so, but the IDW comics have fallen out of favor with RPH as of late. Chances are that we'll mostly keep to developing our own original content. 13) The last time somebody asked this question, we all agreed that seaponies could thrive in freshwater. 14) You'll have to ask a Celestia roleplayer for a proper answer.

Well, we had someone RPing as one of the Cake Twins once, so I suppose it is theoretically possible.....

Confession Time: when I first compiled the list, I only focused on cast characters with fan followings or those with major roles in at least one episode. Chasing down ALL the Tier 3s would have been a feat indeed, haha. Anywho, I'll add in your other cast when I have a free moment. EDIT: And it's done~

And now, Pink Lady is on the list.

Pffft! In my day, we called things like Determination by the proper term: Infinite Lives.....

Hmmmm..... can you incorporate a Character Personality field please? It's very jarring when apps have a really long History section yet mention very few characterization details.

/me moves the Goalpost of Achievement to 3,000 posts.

App moved back to Applications section for editing.

In my case, both Tinypic and Imgur are producing broken images. X_X
