Nice map!

If you struggle with names, may I suggest a visit to conlang.org. A conlang is a constructed language (such as Esperanto, Tolkein's Quenya or even Klingon). The library has links to articles and languages. Once you see how others construct their languages, you get a feel, or you might visit project gutenberg and get a copy of the Esperanto Dictionary. There's even a military version of it (used for tactical combat operations by the military)

Here is a link to the Gutenberg e-book, the Esperanto Teacher:

The Esperanto Teacher

Note one of the first things it teaches is how to pronounce vowels and consonants (this helps you determine what your language sounds like -- and what letters are allowed; example: no Ws in classic Latin.

That turned out nicely Larion!

Very nice style. I wonder if there's a way to bring out some detail in your shaded relief on the shadowed side of the mountains? Maybe a very faint second render with the light in the lower-left.

The lines radiating from the compass are called rhumb lines.

Thanks everyone!

Oh it'd be incredibly easy to do that. The mountains are a seperate layer, with 75% opacity and a couple other settings, the main one being a bevel. All I'd have to do tweak the settings on the bevel and I can make it just as dark as anyone could want I'll upload one later today.

EDIT: Okay here's what it looks like now. I duplicated the mountains layer, and changed the light source from a 97 degree angel to a 173 degree angle, and then darkened the shadows in the bevel. I think I like it better
