Legible text across a mountain range - any other way aside from putting a "gap" in the mountains?
The list of effects on that sheet are shown in the panel on the right hand side, where you can see that the Glow you just added is currently at the bottom of the list.
That means it will happen after the Outer Glow and the Drop Shadow, which is not an ideal place to have a Glow effect, as it will be applied to all the existing effects before it - a glow around the Outer Glow and the Drop Shadow.
We couldn't see the effects on your TEXT sheet before, but now it is easier to say that it might have been better just to edit the Outer Glow, which you can do by picking it with a single click and hitting the EDIT button on the right of the panel. When you are editing the Outer Glow you will see that you can adjust the opacity and extent of the glow, and Apply the changes you make to check your adjustments.
Once you have finished editing the Outer Glow you might actually want to delete the new Glow you just added. To do that you pick the Glow and click the DELETE button beside the panel. NOT the DELETE button at the bottom, or you will delete the Effects Presets by mistake, which you will later regret.
Here is a quick and rather scrappy explanation. Sorry - I seem to be developing a hand tremor and there is no 'smooth stroke' option with this screen annotator.

Community Atlas 500th map and 4 year anniversary competition with prizes.
And this is mine.
These don't really qualify as map notes. They are more of a description, or a tourist guide if you like.

Community Atlas competition: Kristol Caverns
I think this is as done as I can do it right now.
...
The Kristol Caverns are home to an undead dragon who is cursed to guard the bones of his rider, the Dragon King, for all eternity until the end of time, when it is believed he will rise again. There's plenty of gold just lying around, and intended to fund the King's last campaign (whatever that might be), but don't let the decomposed state of the dragon deceive you. If you look you can see that the remains of the man near his nose are far more recent than the bones of the dragon.
Smugglers have made use of an inaccessible part of the cavern closer to the entrance. Maybe they aren't even aware of the King and his beast, or maybe they found him, and that's one of them lying there in the dragon's lair.
...
Any suggestions for improvement (including to the story) that won't take more than a couple of hours to do are welcome :)
