i've done some more reading, experimenting and thinking, but it hasn't helped me come to a conclusion about the size.

so im sticking with the map below for now

following on from harshandatt this is the mirror of fire.

I'm in two minds about the central plateau/messa feature. should i make it smaller and/or move it more northwesterly. to make the island more isolated.

a bit of background. it's supposed to represent the remains of an ancient island. the mirror of fire being where a lake/inland sea used to be. both were destroyed by a great fire when the pillar of ormal collapsed. the lands to the southeast were formed as a result of earthquakes and floods from the same event. perhaps some of the land features are worn down remains of the pillar,

and the version with the borders mentioned in a previous post

i'm more or less happy with how this is looking now.

i had trouble pin pointing some locations mentioned in the source material; due to conflicting descriptions in the text and on the source maps. so i just went with what felt right

well it looking like it's almost finished. but there are some jobs still to do.

finish the large forest

theres the road i the top left, i'm not happy with. though it fits with a predefined trade route.

add some colour to represent vegetation

recheck the borders for the different areas. these aren't visible on this map

sit back, relax, look for anything i've missed
