I thought about it last night and plan on making some major overhauls. I'll tone down the fonts and see how it looks. Thanks.
I keep Ystraad up to benchmark my work and look for ways to improve my own stuff. I'm just glad I could contribute.

The road to success is always under construction.
- revamped the coast lines
- started over on trees and mountains
- added a a desert (no clue on symbols to add for deserts)
- added hordeland symbols and changed text layout
still to do
- start over on Larano blow up. Use new border, make it interesting and hopefully make it mesh well with the over all look.
- add more titles (few cities, add ruins, add a sea/ocean or two)
- add symbols to barrow island chain in south east
- revisit amount of fonts used
- revisit actual names used

Very nice. Love the celtic borders. For deserts symbols perhaps a few cacti (sp?) and some cattle skulls...maybe a dune or two?
I agree on the fonts, try to pin yourself down to one or two and use font size and bold to change it up a little.
All in all a nice peice of art.
This is really coming along nicely...

Completed since last update
- Normalized the fonts - used Trajan Pro for most of it. It lacks a old world feel so I'll revisit that.
- Redid Larano Blow up and border. I think it meshes better with the over all map now.
- Added Cacti to desert region
- added symbols to Barrow Island region
To do List
- Add Rivers
- Add more Cities and Regions
- Revisit font choice

I really like the different "clan?" icons for the Hordelands.

All in all, very nice. A great improvement on an already great-looking map!

Thanks for all the feedback so far guys.

Love the heraldry, I've been trying to figure out a way to incorporate that into my current project without covering up the map and viola, here you are and showed me the way. Thanks.
