This is very possibly the most beautiful map I have ever seen, on this site or anywhere. It's ASTOUNDINGLY GOOD. 12 stars out of 10.
Ok, i am sorry...but i have to necro this thread
Awesome map, Jared! I don't know if there is a history for this world...but if there is, i'd really want to know more about it. Oh and any chance of you uploading an even higher res of this? I have an idea for a short rpg campaign in a medieval world and this map looks so ... inviting!
Oh and have some rep.!
I'm trapped in Darkness,
Still I reach out for the Stars

What a beautiful map! I love the shields, they add so much character to the map. The subtle colours are great too. All your works are awesome, but this one is one of my favorites!
Certainly something for us newbies to aspire to. Well done! Fantastic use of color. I really like the sophisticated look of the brick red on the tans, yellows, and browns. Provides perfect contrast and allows the greens of the trees and the blues of the water to stand out.
