    I agree with the other folks about making Mordor more forbidding.

    Other than that, a spelling nitpick: You've got the Brandywine River spelled as 'Brandywhine', which I kind of like.

    In the land of Mordor, where shadows lie....

    I like the Middle earth map more and more - very symbolic but also realistic.

    Agree that I'd also like to see something more with Mordor. In my head I always picture the place with a sort of reddish tone, though I don't think that matches the book's description (I'm probably influenced by the art I've seen). I do think it would be good to something to differentiate from the surrounding area, even if only in the areas around Barard-dur and Mount Doom (the eastern parts of Mordor were supposed to be fertile, I believe.)

    If I may nitpick a bit, you have a couple of overlapping labels. Should be easy to fix them.
