I made some decent progress today. I'm playing around with the fonts a bit, trying to find something I'm happy with. I'm also trying to figure out what I want the city town symbols to look like. I'm probably going to have to draw something myself.
I like the style you've chosen for the mountains and how you arranged them. Very nice!

If you're in need of easy inspiration, I found a pretty nifty way if making Icons quickly. Find a font you like, and combine letters of that font in mirrored or rotated form. Here's a sample of some I came up with. Each symbol is a multiple of one number or capital letter duplicated and mirrored and rotated, then flattened and given a stroke. See if you can guess what the letters are. I think something like this would work well for your map, or at least create some compelling shapes for you to bounce off of.
The map is awesome, I like the colours and brushes.
Slipguard: Those look fairly nice! Will have to try it out myself.
Spent the morning fooling around with structures and political borders. Not sure about the results.
The towns/structures are from Ramah's brush set.

I've always enjoyed your work cereth and this one is no exception. Starting to look like a commision that would be well worth it. Bravo, repped.

People come and people go. I walk amongst them, I see their faces; but none see mine. I pass them in the streets but nary a glance is spared my way, for what interest would they have in a Wanderer? Not of this world... Forever Alone... Forever Wandering... LoneWandererD...

Nice buildings. They work very well for your style. Here's some rep!
I like the buildings (especially the wall), but it is a bit difficult to see any details.

The townbrushes fit really well, but they are indeed to hard to notice, may look like hills instead of houses.
I think it's just about perfect. At this scale the buildings are visible but not too big. Nice Job !!
