Gullies and valleys are v- or u-shaped and the bottom of the "v" or "u" are pointing upstream. Index contours are thicker than normal contours. To calculate for the contour interval [CIJ, calculate the difference between two succeeding index contours. Then divide the difference with the number of contours from one of the index contours to the next index contour..

BLOOD AND SOIL Westeros is a huge continent ruled by a plethora ofroyal families. These families, called Houses, vie for control ofthe Iron Throne, located in King's Landing and is the symbolic seat ofthe federation ofseven kingdoms that rule over eight regions. Power, resources, and glory motivate the Houses and their vassals as they mobilize their armies, gain allies, unleash war, and play a Game of Thrones. Their endgoals differ, though, and reflects the belief of each House about the same piece of land, Westeros. For instance, the Starks, despite the fact that the North is the largest region, are not as cunning as the other Houses due to their leader's beliefin justice. The Houses and their dominions are listed on the right. Dots on the topographic map depict locations ofvarious settlements ofvarious sizes. Green regions are forests. CI is 500 m.
