    Updated the maps with correct illumination and made a third one, this time using wilbur. My rivers now look like rivers!

    Well for starters, your Kammeni region looks like it could be something out of southern Finland along the borders of Russia (which sucked for the Russians), where the glaciers got to play for thousands of years. Google map southern Finland and see if you agree. Northern Canada, like in Manitoba and the NW Territories has some of the same thing going on. This would indicate a sub-polar latitude, though in a fantasy world an ice age could happen anywhere. At any rate, it is a very wet map and more than likely any ground that has that many little lakes and rivers is likely to be swampy and very difficult to get through. Good for goblins.

    Shadowspring: Two things immediately come to mind, first there's a lot of lakes for a desert. Second, there must be some naughty neighbors to the east because that's a well fortified line. That and no roads go out that way. Both factors would contribute to a large city being there. I'm having doubts about all these lakes being independent of one another, especially in a desert. I'd move Whiteash Castle to the north side of the canyon it is on, that way when the punks from the east come through it can be supported by the city easier. As far as castles go, just google "castle floor plan" and you will get hooked up.

    Wellfield: Why did your rivers stop? If Wellfield's going to be a big port town, it should be on a river that goes somewhere. That and I think the rivers run too close in parallel. They are all draining the same spots, and they are all going to run downhill, so eventually they are going to run together instead of running side by side.
