The Galactic Powers (Negative)
This kind of map has been long overdue. Not all of my ideas for Galactic Powers are on it, and the names of those that are may be difficult to read at this scale. But I did have other maps prepared for other, long-since-deleted posts and I can put them up again as I have time.
The map puts my fictional doings in the perspective of the large-scale structure of the Milky Way (after which my fictional Ring of Stars – what it is called as viewed from the inside – is patterned). The center of the Kingdom of Ariel is where the “Sun” is: the star Helios, with its Homeworld Rosette including six planet/moon pairs in the same orbit, including Ge/Selene.

The original map itself is taken from an image of the Milky Way contributed to Wikipedia Commons (left). It is much larger there and it’s proven very useful to me in many ways, real and fictional. Kudos to the astronomer(s) who put it together from the presently available data!

Very cool. And there in the center of the Kingdom is a very special face. Very cute.
I am intrigued by another spherical image besides the earth which may be your mandela. This made me think of a cosmic mandela that encompasses everything that is you and what will be in the kingdom.

You may well be right about that. Good for you, fellow ENFP!
One name for the Node Field that surrounds the Kingdom of Ariel and defines its boundaries is the Covenant Sphere. (The Node Field protects the inhabitants therein from attack by evil quasi-supernatural powers [the Hostile Archons and Shadow Creatures] and their mortal allies.) And the Milky Way itself is a sort of mandela to me, especially when viewed from a heliocentric coordinate system as above.
