I think it was one of @Loopysue 's greatest hits. Just amazing concept and executed wonderfully.

This is great! I checked out Sue's short tutorial on it as well (https://rpgmaps.profantasy.com/shore-and-ocean-effects-for-overland-maps-part-3-roses-and-rhumb-lines/) and between these two feel well equipped now. If only there was a dedicated tool that made it easier!

This absolutely worked 100%. I'm playing now to try and get the image to look less...busy. But it worked, dammit! Thank you!

You've made a stellar site! You and the others who posted theirs too. It inspires me to make an actual site rather than rely on Fandom. com!

Looking at your site--it's a magnificent piece of work! The menus are elegant and the art is incredible! Do you source it somewhere, or make it? The temple on the landing page for instance, and the picture of Hamara Bay! Lord, this is the type of site I'd like to set up myself! I'm not much of an artist, but have used an AI app to generate original art for characters and cities for my own wiki site. One great use has been improving the heraldric images I've made in CC3--I've attached one from CC3 and the result.

I usually give bonus XP for players who ask for, and use, a few phrases, from the setting. Just simple stuff, like greetings, and so on.

Thanks! I used an AI program to make them based on rough sketches I made in the program, with a prompt added. Little fiddling here and there to get each one right. Here's a page that shows all the shields for this kingdom so far.

Thank you--the Ironfists are meant to be a robust range like the Rockies, that are difficult to cross, forming a natural barrier between Akaryth and the kingdom to the west, Keledon. I considered increasing the size of the mountain icons, and found it hard to fill in the area without it looking too packed. I'll play with it some more. Thank you!

For context here's a map of Keledon that shows its Reaches, or provinces, and a slightly better view of how I think of the Ironfists, seen in the east.

Thanks! It's been fun (and very educational) to try and make a non-map image in this software. I've got some more ideas now also, that I've learned about Explode!

Stunning! Not only are the maps gorgeous but I love the religion you outlined. My BA is in religion and history, and my MA in religious studies, so this is my bread and butter. Not only are the Gods fascinating, the religion makes sense, and I absolutely adore the concepts of the sun and moon being Aurinko and Helmi--mobile sky palaces.

Since you're developing lore so deeply, might I suggest fandom.com? You can make your own wiki there for free, illustrate it, and do a lot. I use it for my own world (sadly I've neglected it for too long but am back to working on it)--it's a wonderful resource and if you use your maps and lore for RPGs it's a boon to your players!
