    Map The village of Bourmout

    Last year I started the WIP thread for Bourmout and worked through it there. I completed it but didn't think about posting it in finished maps.
    The thread for that is here - http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...ad.php?t=27860
    Arsheesh suggested I do that so here it is. Cheers.

    The Village of Bourmout

    Nestled in the vale of Tohlmot on a headland between the Toltoren River and the Borenis flow, as it's called locally, sits the old town of Bourmout, home of the Aeribour Mining Company, the Courvenhost Inn and the much fabled Boar's Head Tavern. The village was founded by Vaelor Aerneis of Maldain.
    Born in the highlands of the mountainous central region of Maldain, Vaelor wandered for many years throughout the surrounding lands before settling for a time in Toulnour, on Maldain's eastern edge. But the wanderlust caught him again and lead him on many adventures before coming to the mountainous northwest region of Ivonest. There he settled and formed the town with the remaining members of the Aernesti Adventure Company LTD.

    The true origin of the village's name is not known. Some claim it is named after Borimon, who was a guide for Vaelor in northen Ivonest.
    Others say it is a blend of that and the mountain north of town, the Tohlmot.
    The name is generally accepted to mean 'a meeting or dwelling place on the mound among the trees'. There is a question about the town's association to the boar as well as the feeling of the town having a moat. Most say these are merely incidental.

    Added here is the main front page map along with the back page which has the information about the buildings in town.
