Hello, Ant here, again.
Now, this is my redo appeal, on regards of the Island of Bloodstone in the Stepstones. The appeal, would be justified, mostly under clause C:
Now, also under Clause B:
According to newer canon maps (The Lands of Ice and Fire), the island which is currently named as Bloodstone in our map, isn't it. I understand that it was not clear in the past, but in the new maps that have now been released, its position is obvious.
In the book "The Lands of Ice and Fire" one can clearly see that Bloodstone, is the isle in the middle, instead of the one closest to Dorne, with Canon Grey Gallows, beeing, right below.
The above position is also enforced by the Map of the Free Cities, on ADwD, which doesnt include the island, that in our would would be considered as Bloodstone. But it does contain Bloodstone, in the general middle of the archipelago, with Grey Gallows, beeing a small shitstain of an island, right underneath.
Now, ofcourse, it would be appropriate to add, that the island, that is considered as Bloodstone, in our map, is always, placed almost next to the Broken Arm of Dorne, in all maps, which given the aforementioned information, would disqualify it, as beeing the Canon Bloodstone.
I should also add, that the above information, regarding Clause B, also count for the island of Grey Gallows, as it is currently in our server. Our version is too sizable, beeing almost the same size as our Bloodstone, nor does it follow the shape of canon island, as seen in both ADwD and The Lands of Ice and Fire.
Having said the above, it should be now appropriate to discuss in general, my plans for the region.
In a few words, all the islands of the Stepstones, shall be yeeted from the face of the earth, with the exceptions of old Bloodstone, now Birdstone (Bird's Bloodstone, Aeksio came up with it, clever isn't it? Hehe), and the southernmost island, of the coast of Spottswood, which I shall not be claiming.
This new, multi-island project, or even if it could be considered a megabuild, since at this point, the lines between projects over here, is kind off blurred (after all I will be nuking almost everything we have and start planting new islands), will be as seen in the following map:

With the project beeing as extensive as it is, the main aim is for a viable and cohesive style guide among the islands, and also the creation of important lore, that would serve, filling the massive gaps that exist regarding this most important archipelago. Minus the general pirate stuff,the massive amount of wars that take place over there and the large number of canon contradictions, really little else is known.
Now, the canon justification for everything seen in the map above, can be seen in the following document:
(P.S. Please excuse the syntax errors and the occasional missing word, since I most likely thought about it and then forgot to write it.)

Edit: A small clarification regarding the larger settlements and esspecialy Konossos. Konossos you see, is where the battle between Alyn Oakenfist and the Braavosi took place, the town there is ruined, and also, Racallio's wooden fort, is none other than its ancient Acropolis, looming over it on the larger hill to the east. The current name for the settlement, as seen in the new revised map, which should be finished soon, is Queen's Harbour, reffering to Racallio ofc.
Thanks for reading!
Now, this is my redo appeal, on regards of the Island of Bloodstone in the Stepstones. The appeal, would be justified, mostly under clause C:
I'd consider this one beeing pretty obvious, since Bloodstone is currently a large patch of purple wool, and also has already been decleared Abandoned from Dutchguard, back in 2021.
Now, also under Clause B:
The main issue with canon here, mostly derives on this aspect:
