    Thank you!

    I don't have the scale quite figured out but the "continent" is roughly a million square miles. So not huge but still fairly large.

    Thank you!

    The circles demarcate areas where Archmagi levitated whole mountain ranges to form their own personal floating islands (which are not pictured in the map). The spells used were of epic proportion and their after-effects (including what can be described as a lighter gravity, which allows the flora and fauna in the areas to grow to substantially larger than any where else on the continent) linger. Actually the only reason I included the circles was to let the viewer know that the 5 big (for a lack of a better term) "crop circles" on the map was indeed intentional.

    EDIT: I am using CS3 to create this map.

    My next goal is to make the larger rivers taper off and form deltas

    The islands with the white rings represent islands that are mingled between the other planes and the material plane. Basically, they're islands where the inland portions are much, much larger than their shorelines (as seen from the outside) appear to be.
