Fantastic use of the Eriond Tutorial. I have seen so many great maps made in that style... I have to finally try it out for myself.

Regarding your map. Maybe what it is missing are just labels and a nice border that will go well with the style? Compared to the original the new one looks simply empty, "unmapped" in a sense that it looks wild and untouched by humans. The other one is live with their stories and lives, doings, and adventures... If you know what I mean.
