Thanks for the response - I will try your suggestion for the coastline.

I did a mock-up similar to yours when the 4e FRCG came out, but what I am trying to do with this project is to make it so Laerakond doesn't look like an 'add-in' - so folks who still want to use the older version of the setting can use the material on Returned Abeir in their games (without modifying the old world map).

I note your map has more Islands then the official one - a LOT more - whats the story with those? Also, did Zakhara originally have a huge peninsula rather then an island chain?

Thanks for taking the time to post those as well.
