Painting (color picked from nearby land)

Erasing Color

Terrain that I added with the Raise Landmass brush can't match other terrain, despite use of Manual Color/color picker. Issue persists even through erasing the color on the land in question.

Anyone else run into this/find a solution?

SOLVED: Thanks to u\StevenTrustrum, switching to the "black and white" ground texture gave me a clearer image of what happened. I had made this as a Detail Map from a larger world map, and it looks like Wonderdraft made the heightmap near the river way lower than the rest (but still above water level).

When I use Raise Landmass in the black and white texture mode, I saw more clearly that the terrain would change to match what was further inland, so I just have to go in and level out the heightmap at the river shore.

(I tried posting earlier but Reddit was buggy and it doesn't look like it ever actually went up)

I'm a big ol' dork about music (not really trained though, just a fan) and especially love the use of leitmotifs in storytelling. I was listening to some playlists I made for my own D&D campaign, and "The Matron of Ravens" by Neal Acree (from Season 2) came on.

In it, I heard what I think was a deliberate allusion to the motif used for the Whispered One.

["The Ritual"](https://youtu.be/FQVMsi0gYig) is the song that would probably most easily showcase the motif I am talking about.

["The Matron of Ravens"](https://youtu.be/MRU9IRRAZUc) comes to an ominous swell around 2:12 that sounds like a variation of that motif or at least strongly resembles it.

Playing around with a piano, the first four notes of the Whispered One's motif are:

>***E - D# - G - D#***

The slow, swelling notes at the 2:12 timestamp of "The Matron of Ravens" sound like:

>***C - B - D# - D***

For ease of comparison, we can transpose (right word?) the notes from the Whispered One to be

> ***C - B - D# - B***

The difference is the fourth moving only 1 semitone down for "The Matron of Ravens" (***D#*** to ***D***) while the Whispered One motif is 4 semitones (***D#*** to ***B***; or ***G to D#***).

---

Then around the 2:26 mark in "The Matron of Ravens" goes:

> ***C - B - G# - G***

This sounds like how the Whispered One motif moves downward in the later section:

> (transposed) C - D# - D - B - ***C - B - G# - G***

> (The Ritual) E - G - F# - D# - ***E - D# - C - B***

Considering the connections between TWO and The Matron, as well as the fact that the Matron of Ravens was also a mortal who ascended to godhood and destroyed her predecessor, I can't help but think this similarity is completely deliberate by Neal Acree.

Am I hearing things, or does it sound like there's something there? What are your guys' thoughts?

Also, feel free to correct/educate me on the terminology/notation. As I said, I haven't been formally trained and only learned music through my own sporadic studying.
