The Isle of Gwent

Henrie61 · April 2010

Years ago I started a ad&d campaing.
For this I made the Island kingdom of Gwent.
Tried to make a map of it in CC3.
This is a work in progress. Comments and/or suggestions are welcome.

I like it - is this your first attempt with the program?

A section of the road on the west coast that appears a little too straight - I might use a smooth path for that and make it wind a little more.

I really like that the entire coast is encircled by inns (that presumably have bars inside)...

Good stuff. I'd probably use a different, a little more archaic looking font, instead of plain old Arial. Keep up the good work!

Very nice map, but I'm dying to know the origin of the "dog" and "cat" inns. Rival chains?

@jeardaph Have used CC3 before, not much but am no novice. Youre right, the road is straight, intentionally so but might change it as I agree this section is a bit to straight.

@Ralf Agree on the font, will change that.

@Barliman The kingdom on Gwent isn't very old. Today's king Roderick the 2nd is only the fifth king.
The first king of Gwent, Rupert, had a hard time defeating the many orcs that lived on the island.
Even today Gwent is by no means a safe island to travel without arms as many orcs still live in the mountains.
So Rupert decided to build a fortified inns along the road. Each inn is about a days travel away from the next
Usually the inn lords or ladies are veterans from the army and given an inn as a reward.

New version of the map.

As always, comment and/or suggestions are welcome.
