    I tried different versions of a river, but I couldn't make any of them better than the actual one. I know: they're very large in a map like this.

Geas Sea - looks too small for the amount of space it's naming, while Gulf of Phal - far too big, overlaps the land around it.
    At start I was trying to make all text in the same size, but I quickly realized it would be impossible. I will adjust all of them

    Thanks for the names And obviously thanks for replying! I'm going to remake the text; next the rivers. Thanks so much

    EDIT: I shouldn't ask this ()... anyone have some hints on how to do good rivers?
