February/March 2014 Lite Mapping Challenge: unnamed map

[Wingshaw]

Here's the latest progress on the map. I've had to post it as four separate images, because I still haven't figured out the best way to stitch them together.

It is a map depicting many of the stories that we are all familiar with, but the central story to it all is this (abridged): a clever cat was caught fishing from the Erl King's pond. He was taken before the king, and began telling a story (like all fae-folk, the Erl King loves stories). To cut a long story short, he tricked the erl king, and stole the king's seven-league boots, which allowed him to travel across the land, seven leagues for every stride. The erl king, in his fury, unleashed the Wild Hunt, to catch, kill, and skin the cat, but the animal was too clever. Using his new-found speed, he ensured stories would take place everywhere, to distract the hunters, and buy himself some time. Thus, he led the woodsman to the house where the wolf was impersonating an old woman, he warned the three billy goats about the troll under the bridge, he wrecked a ship on the rocks, where mermaids swam, and so forth. Every time the hunters thought they had caught up with him, he would be one step (and seven leagues) ahead.

Comments welcome, as always.

EDIT: the order of the images goes first image=top right; second image=top left; third image=bottom left; fourth image=bottom right. There's a lot of overlap between each, which I hoped would make them easier to stitch.
