The Continent of Valarina - First Map

Hahahah, yes my name might be implying some sort of nepotism toward a country .

Also, about the geographic features, do you suggest I simply mark them with by writing for example "valley of laresh" or use icons, or both?

Hmmm. For simplicity, maybe some simple icons. My gut reaction is to then name these things, but again simplicity is not my strong suit, (one of my favorite maps of all time) so maybe I'm a bad person to ask. Regardless, I think some indication via symbols of the major geographic locations would be nice. At the same time, this is a typical political map from the really real world and its just like yours (not as nicely rendered, but you know).

You are probably fine. Maybe make a second map (or a separate layer if using GIMP or Photoshop) for the other stuff. I wouldn't want you to ruin a really awesome map for information that is not pertinent. I just like knowing all that stuff

EDIT: I Agree with Jalyha. While I would do it, I think you are probably better off not doing it.
