    Ok well, I guess the author should decide.

    Does the anchor means that it's a port city?

    The border of the map look too modern at my taste. You could superimpose it with a parchement layer playing with the opacity and saturation of the layer to give the feel of an old paper. But will it fit with the rest of the map, i'm not sure.
    A lot of the of the political borders don't follow the geography. You could consider making some larger in order to reach them while other get smaller. If a border is located in the middle of a plain, it's probably temporary or there is a good explanation for it but it was not very commun in medieval Europe. The kingdom of Sardina managed to survive for centuries despite being rivaled by bigger states (France, Sapin) becaus eof it's natural bored , the Alps.
    Also, some border look pretty thick maybe you could do something like this for the borders that or narrowing them:

    Lastly, your wind rose seems to have a shadow effect that is not contistent. You need to decide from where light is coming and make it reflect on the metal accordingly.


    For map border, something like that prehaps: http://www.cartographersguild.com/tu...ders-gimp.html
