Hi,
A couple of questions for you.

The scale: (-Scale: The region I will be working with is approximately 50k square miles. It will be somewhat smaller than most of the other regions. This isn't the only continent on the planet, so don't be concerned over the relative smallness of it.) Is the planet size similar to Earth (just curious, and it has a bit to do with my second question)? You also mention 1500x1500 for the regional map dimensions, depending on shape. For your novel, is the actual kingdom/region basically square-ish (as in, not like Chile)?

The climate: Is this similar to Earth? Or rather, how much of the continent do you want frozen, and do you need any tropical areas?

I'm willing to fit the style to your needs, but if you care to view some of my past work see the link below.
