    Thanks again! I've got plenty to run with now. Good luck with your water cooled beast.

    The beast has awoke and its hungry...

    So I have been feeding it tonight and I have the first level of the Fenridge Area. I can see now why I put the castle where it is. It seems to sit on a high peak. I have made the terrain a bit more watery than you might normally find in pure karst regions but were just fudging the issue now to get some water as you seem a bit concerned about it.

    So hope you like it so far. I will do another of even more detail over the castle mountain bit so you can map it from there. This map is about 120 miles across so completely useless to use as a base for a battle scale map.

    I spent a while getting the script right as I have a few more to use it on. They should have the same look and feel as this one.

    I gotta do Snapgallows, Hardy Island and/or Old Mere Fort and I ought to pick somewhere for myself too. That might be rolled with the Hardy Island and I might to Hawker Point, Hardy Point and the Krull Crossing. Takes about 15 mins now to do any point on the map like that so I should think I will cover it in time.

    That is wonderful stuff!

    Could I get greyscale height map data of the shown area? I've started on the castle but I'd like to do a 'regional closeup' as I would want one as a DM myself. Also I could match the bump's general contours.

    My working backstory is that this is the local's equivalent of Helm's Deep - A place of refuge. The castle got build a while back when the lizardmen almost siezed the high ground. Now the castle sits astride the only practical route up Fenridge. Except for ninja pirates - they can scale anything.

    Well I was planning to do a closer up version around the castle bump & area for you. Did you especially want to do the terrain yourself ? Thats no problem but I have it all scripted here so its hardly any problem to whoop up a closer view.
