Here's an afternoon doodle for you 
I was reading a list of wolf/werewolf names, and playing around with a bit of parchment, and this just kind of happened.

Its a bit hard to read at this scale. The full size version is here:

For after all, in the words of the fabled ancient sage Siodmak*, "Even a man who is pure in heart, and says his prayers by night, May become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright"!
But no Larry Talbot?
[* Curt Siodmak (1902-2000) - see here should anyone need reminding about this and the significance of the Talbot reference, or for those unaware of such matters till now...]
I literally just found a list of names online and decided to use them to make a seemingly innocent little village. This was just an afternoon doodle.
Quenten - Sure you can have it, but the problem here is only the houses are a regular part of CC3. All the textures and trees are one that I have made, and the way I made the map I didn't insert the flowering bushes and those of the trees from that set from the same catalogue that I gave to Remy for the atlas.
I wasn't anticipating that it would be more than a doodle.
Tell you what - I really don't mind if you, or someone else wants to make a more compatible direct copy (or modified) of Raoul village specifically for the album. How does that sound? Its not a long and time consuming map to make, or it shouldn't be. You would just have to be a bit resourceful in deciding what allowable textures you could swap mine out for.
I can upload the map right here for you to take, if you want, but it would only be full of red crosses until you worked on it. Even the text is a font that probably no one else will have, so you will have to replace that as well, unless I explode it first.
Quenten - here is the FCW. I've exploded the text so its still there for you when you open it. The rest is very much up to you, though. the file is probably going to feel a bit alien. I'm very freestyle when it comes to sheets, and tend to delete everything except the ones that I actually want, to keep it short but sweet.
I expect this is really obvious anyway, but I'd better say it anyway. The original image I exported and the original file is my copyright, but anything you make as a derivative is entirely yours. Ok? At least I think that's how I officially give it to you to work on for your own map?
And as they say, I used to be a werewolf, but I'm alright now-oooow...
Scott - thanks, I was hoping it would be a bit of light hearted relief
Thank you, Joachim
Once it is done, it is ready to be moved into any continent folder in the actual atlas.
(Technically, if you really wish to keep your map in c:\artemisia, you can put the files from the 'your map here' folder into that folder, and put the 'Resources' folder from the archive as c:\resources [but do NOT put 'resources' inside c:\artemisia], but I recommend just using the directory structure from the downloaded zip and not move anything around, that is far easier.)
You did very well with it - congratulations
One thing you might want to sort out is to put the bushes (smaller trees) on the bushes sheet, since the drop shadow on the tree sheet is making them look like they are floating just a bit
I also very much like your previous version!
For instance, here you can find a French role playing game named Raoûl: http://www.legrog.org/visuels/couvertures/2382.jpg
The subtitle can be translated "The roleplaying game with smelly armpits"... And no, it's not a serious game, but a satirical one.
Anyways, I like both versions of the map. I think I slightly prefer the smoothness of the version by Sue, it make everything pop out a little bit more, I think. But I like the added details by Quenten (the blood, the giant wolves...)
That's interesting about the name. The meaning of the English first name "Raoul" is as a form of "Ralph", meaning 'Wolf Counsel'
Just goes to show I can never use a real name for something and guarantee the rest of the world will read it the same as I do :P
On the other hand, this is a perfect opportunity to make a regional map in the Ruma Helrevy region
Personally, I was thinking you could put it on Spiros Isle though, as the scale of that map seemed perfect to add a minor village, perhaps in the forest to the east.
But I was also thinking Growler Bay on justice Island perhaps? Also one of Jim's maps, but maybe he could add a small village up in the hills near the river on that map, Guadeloupe River could be a tributary to the Mornful River.
