Welcome!
The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Egyptian/Arabic/Aztec/African mashup. Now with necromancers!
If I may, what type of climate is the Vasarian Empire?
Think Egypt.

Great map!
I think this is one of the nicest uses of text on a map, very clean, legible and scaled beautifully -all yeah the map is awesome too. I think a lot of users on this site could take some type learnings from this map.
Sorry just a couple more thoughts after studying it a little more, love the tapered river. Just a thought on when the trees are around the mountains, if you saw just a partial tree going behind a mountain it might make them appear to be behind the mountains more, they sometime appear to just float
