Here is a try to do the map that I will give to the pcs to find the Tomb of Crevan (my last map).
It is still a try and error aproach.
The region depicted is +- 250 x 200 km in area.

EDIT: The map is the second one. The first is only a very clooser shoot from the area in my world map to maintain the scale and logic of things If anyone want, the complete full resolution is here:

Here is the new version.
Just use dots for the settlements.
And they don't have to be exactly in the right spot. Don't want to make it too easy to fiind the tomb.
EDIT: Deleted map
- Add a slight transparency to blood and text. Seeing the "paper" texture in the color can help give the impression that the blood and text are written/dropped onto the parchment.
- Maybe darken the color of the blood a touch, or even give it more of a brown hue, depending on how it looks with transparency and how long it's supposed to have been on the map.
- Lose the drop shadows on the text. They give the text a "floating" feel (unless that's what you're going for, of course!)
- I would lose the coloring of the lakes and rivers. Either make them black or hollow (for hollow lakes, maybe add waves in the middle or along the shoreline). That said, I like your final choice for the color of the water.
- And as an added touch, you could use freehand lines to draw the arrows -- how'd you do those anyway!?
Disregarding my points above, I think this is a beautiful map. As always, you do impressive and inspiring work.Thanks for sharing!

I tryed your sugestion of transparecy on the blood/ink and the text but I did not liked too much of the result. In the version that i am doing right now I followed your suggestion of a darker red and put the shadow on the text off. But the whithe glow have to stay or it is not possible to read it, but i have diminished it a bit.
About the water, it were my biggest strugle. Nothing looked nice (I tryed SEVERAL colours and styles), so decided for a ink blue with a trnasparecy effect.
The arrows are symbols that i found here on the forum. I had put the one that looked more hand made, but I know that it is not perfect
Thanks for all considerations. I will post the new final version soon.
Here is the new version.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
REPOUSO DE CREVAN = Crevan's Rest
MÁSCARAS DE SANGUE = Blood Masks
REFÚGIO DO VETERANO = Veteran's Refuge
MORTE DE CREVAN = Crevan's Death
QUEDA DO GUERREIRO = Warrior's Fall
PRIMEIRO BEIJO = First Kiss
ATENÇÃO ÀS COLINAS = Atention to the hills!
NO ESCURO ESTÁ A RESPOSTA = In the dark is the answer
IGNORE O CANTO DO PÁSSARO = ignore the singing of the bird!
NA ESPADA NÃO CONFIE = In the sword don't trust
(in the big red drop) PERGUNTE PELO CERVO CEGO = Ask for the blind deer.
Now they maybe are a bit to clean around the edges.
What caused them? Fire, then they would have edges smudged with sooth.
Acid, may that would leave another colouring.
