    This is really nice. You've thought out things pretty globally. A minor qualm: some of the detail (e.g. the rivers) is so fine that it's hard to see.

    I really like the names: Irish a language I've also used myself in a couple of settings. Any real or invented language gives an incredible add to flavour!

    Rivers are tough for me - I actually think that if all of the rivers shown on the map are large enough to show up at all on this scale, one almost couldn't take a step without dipping toes in a smaller river, creek, or stream . . . And the thought of naming all of them just about makes my poor old brain lock up.

    The rivers show up somewhat more clearly in CC3. Translation to .pdf or .jpg seems to soften things a little. I used a transparency effect on the rivers sheet as well - I'll see what happens if I turn up the opacity a little.

    Thanks for the comments and kind words! I agree completely about the use of a consistent language. It's cool the way language interacts with and influences other aspects of the campaign.
