    Nice map, yet I think there are a few things you might want to change. You mixed symbols from many different styles. The mountains have their shadows face east, many castles and cities have a shadow facing west. You might want to mirror that symbols to have a shadow on the same side.

    Additionally, world maps are projections of a sphere onto a plane, so one axis more or less is half the circumference, while the other axis is the full circumference. If you stretch the canvas (not the content) to a 2:1 ratio and fill it left and right with water it would give it as world map a lot more credibility...
