That's interesting stuff, i love hearing about little things like that - and it can definitely be put to use for peripheral peoples, although this is the only land i have put any work into so far there is still a continent on the left edge that i would like to add at some point

so here's the map with the overbearing texture toned down! i was worried initially because it started to look like painted plastic - all shiny and weird!

i've also added desert, i was thinking it was pretty unavoidable!

something else i've started doing as i work on it is trying to figure out how the rivers got to the sea before it rose! is this a normal level of pedantic-ness?!
