Hello! I have been planning out a world setting for my fourth edition dnd campaign, and I would love to have a visually appealing custom world map. I would be happy to pay for an artists hard work, allthough free is good too :)
Most of the world map may be creatively filled in at the artists whim.
There are a few particulars I would like to have on the map, if possible.
The map would essentially be a single large continent, aprox. 4000 miles by 4000 miles across. I am thinking bulky in the middle and a bit 'stringier' at the outer edges. A few islands near the main land mass would be nice as well.
A large inland sea/great lake, aprox 150 miles x 150 miles accross, that must be close to the center of the land mass.
A large river emerging from a mountains area, feeding into the inland sea, and out of the other side of the inland sea, ultimately reaching the coast, with marsh/swampland on the side nearest the inland sea. Plains/farmland terrain on the side away from the inland sea.
The terrain along the river and the shores of the inland sea would be plains/farmland terrain, mostly.
The river would be as long as the nile/amazon, a good 4000 miles, and average 2-3 miles wide. The river would span most of the land mass.
The map would have many regions of mountains, hills, rivers, forest, grassland, plains, etc..even the elusive forested hills!
I will be working on a rough sketch that explains my unusual desires for the map. The vast majority will be at the artists whim, however.
I will add towns,cities. roads, national borders, etc. once I see what the map is like, and that can be done by either the artist or me, whatever ends up working best.
I would appreciate any advice or help I can get!
