The swamp doesn't have to be humid - plenty of swamps in the tundra regions of earth.

Love the compass

But for reference, here is Ahab, my beloved Schipperke (Belgian barge dog - all black with no tail).

Just unbelievably good. And thanks for sharing the process.

Definitely need dogs - mine sleeps every night with me on the bed. And we also need single beds as well, I think.

The final map for the Hardin region. An archipelago with Wallori (Australian Aboriginal-type) tribes (the Wombat Tribe) in the north; the centre is occupied by a warlike collection of city-states of the Kwetzatl (Aztec-Maya type) people; and the southern island is occupied by the equally ferocious Ming (Chinese-like) who are at war with themselves and the Kwetzatl to the north - the sound separating them has many sunken warships and trade vessels.

And of course, it is a mixed up version of the Falkland Islands aka Islas Malvinas

A larger version is in the Gallery:
