    Thanks guys...

    RR I'll give those a whirl and and see how it goes.

    Re: Trees and shrubs - Still undecided on that, I had trees initially, but the looked funny so I scrapped 'em. Guess I can give it another go.

    Re: Barrow shadows - You guys are right, the shadows could be deeper, didn't want to go overboard but I guess I 'under-did' it. Shouldn't be to bad to fix.

    Re: Obelisk shadows - Hmmm...didn't even notice that when I was putting them on the map, guess I'll create my own rather than using a Dundjinni download. I used an image I had grabbed from there and rotated it.

    Anyone know of a good site for glyphs, sigils, etc? I need some for the tops of the barrows and haven't found anything good as of yet.

    Glyphs, make 'em like the long man of wilmington and that. Dug out of the grass. It'll look great!

    Use a good dingbats font (wingdings, webdings, etc).

    I use Oblivion fonts and alchemist types of dingbats, plus an occasional sci fi dingbat like Klingon and such.

    Somebody just posted a terrific site a couple of days ago with complete alphabets from several ancient languages. I don't remember what it was off the top of my head, but check the recent posts in the Mapping Resources forum.

    Oh, what I meant was, that was my only bit of constructive criticism. I forgot to mention that besides this little thing, the map looks pretty darn great!
