    Amazing map one for a choice map slot maybe.

    Is it Tolfolas or Tolfalas. I dont know but I have always used the latter. I have mentioned before that I am a bit of a middle earth fraud and I leave all this kind of nit picky stuff to my mate Monks who is sort of encylopedic about it. Theres no wikipedia page for the former spelling but several references to it in searches. I care not - but just mentioning it in case you want to check with your own head so your happy.

    Also, is there an h in brandywhine ? Not sure about that but feel free to ignore me.

    Made quite alot of changes. Fixed some errors and added a few things. Changed mordor and the shire a bit. Added lava and smoke to mount doom

    The map is scaled down to 50%.

    This is a fabulous piece Carinfex, kudos man. About the only suggestion I have would be to consider changing the color of the elvish runes along the border to more of a gold hue, such as you've done with your title. Really nice work on this though.

    Cheers,

    Gold color is tricky. I'll see what i can do.

    Thanks again everyone for all the kind comments!
