Here is an update, apart from perhaps adding a nice border to the map (I'll have to read the Tome) the 'World" map is more or less done. Well, when I say that, it has as much detail as I'm going to put in. I'm sure someone will see something I've missed or have a better suggestion for something...

I 'fixed' the errant lake with no apparent source (thanks Remy), changed the river widths (thanks Sue), labeled the Kingdoms, re-did the forests using the fills, it actually looks quite good now that I know to put trees both in and around it?, added some ocean contours and decoration (thanks Shessar) and changed the scale to miles just to make it that little bit larger, well 1.6 x larger in fact.

Next job is to create a regional map of Galarith and some associated, set-piece encounter maps and then take it from there I guess. Wish me luck...Depending on time frame and when we start playing, I may have to 'borrow' some maps, creating new ones for what I publish...

Thanks for the comments and encouragement folks.

Remy, regarding the central lake - it's magic! No seriously, it really is an oversight but as of this minute let's say it's an underground watercourse rising to the surface and combine this with Sue's idea of some small waterways that are too small to see at this scale trickling down from the hills in the northwest.

Shessar, I thought that as well and whilst I'm at it I'll add some reefs around that group of islands for the pirates that will undoubtedly call one or more of them home.

I posted on the FB page that I read the mapping guide after doing the map and didn't realise the idea of styles with terrain fills for forests, like this one and I guess the Jonathon Robert's style also, was to put a scattering of appropriate tree symbols on top of, as well as around the fill. I thought you were meant to use the tree symbols just on the edges...silly me. So, rather than delete and re-do what I've got already which doesn't look too bad, I'll add some extra sheets and try that out to see how it looks and if it looks better I'll keave the existing sheets hidden or delete them entirely. I don't mind the jungles on the southern islands which is what prompted me to read the guide.

Great job on the upgrade of the Forum as well Remy, BTW.

PS: the name of the map is a portmanteau, bonus points for deciphering the meaning.

Welcome to a dark and gritty world. A world where you live & die by wits and steel in equal measure. Where the Lords of Order and Lords of Entropy battle for your soul. All the while, the Elder Gods, unspeakable beings from the great beyond, infect the dreams of men to hasten their return so they may feed...

Welcome to Novaregna. Champions are needed, will you measure up?
