Shame there aren't any descriptions to go with these, though I appreciate that's not an essential requirement for the Atlas. Quite a lot don't seem to have any scale or north indicator though, of which the scale issue seems more of a problem, especially for anyone who'd only be using the image versions of the maps.
The regional maps I kept the scale. But you may notice that in every section of Peredur that I have had the honor to map, there are some descriptive maps - similar to a landscape photograph/painting, these do not have scales.
I also believe it is interesting to stimulate the DM's imagination and leave him free to design/imagine a castle larger or smaller than the one shown on the map.
I know this thread is a few years old -- I hope I haven't broken protocol by reviving it.
One of the human cultures in the campaign world I'm designing has a sort of Greco-Roman feel to their origin. (They're more medieval/Elizabethan in style now, but they've retained their old gods, and temples and some government buildings still have a Greco-Roman look, and art depicting the gods show them in Greek and Roman attire.)
Anyway, I've searched through my symbols looking for Greek or Roman-style stuff. There are arenas and amphitheaters, and the amphora and urns in Creepy Crypts are perfect. But I was wondering: were you just joking about Mike Schley coming up with Greek/Roman structures, or is that something that's actually planned? I would love something like that.

Finally got around to get these into the atlas. Still not the end of my backlog, but at least a solid chunk. Thanks for the contribution.

Anyway, thanks for the wise advice.
