Nice Map. I agree with Steel General, the transitions between terrain type are a bit jarring, especially the desert. Your labeling looks fine. Try adding an outline to the text over the lightest part of the desert. The drop shadow is not enough to keep it from washing out. I use a different font for cities vs. features vs. political, but that's just a personal preference. The river violation that jwbjerk is talking about is the Mere Aeturnum. It has an outlet at Pallas and another through Gloomwood. In nature you would not have both.
