This is looking great. The trees and mountains have loads of individual character.
I have worked a bit with the border, played around with border-line paths and such, until I came out with this. This is my latest WIP and quite possibly my final map for the challenge. I want to thank everyone for the tips and nice words, you guys have been really helpful!

Looks good.. perhaps a bevel on the image so that it appears that the border frame is on top? Anyway...good stuff....

Still nice, but is that label in the upper left corner correct? It looks like it's been partially erased or something.

Along the way I had the idea of making labels near "smudges" on the parchment appear erased, or almost unreadable. I abandoned the idea but also forgot to change the text for "Wickham", it is unfilled in its current state. I did not notice it until i merged down some layers and I did not know how to undo it. So in my mind its just a portion of the map where the text is unreadable becouse of old age
