    I love the Arythea maps on your website. In truth, I think I prefer the plainer one at the top of the map table to the CC3 version. Both are great maps though.

    One comment on the political boundaries. Sometimes it can be better to leave well defined boundaries off the map. This allows for disputed borders and unclaimed wild lands between kingdoms. If there are well defined political borders, there are usually well established nations that have fought over the borders for numerous years. Nations spread until they can't spread any further due to another nation powerful enough to resist. Only then are political borders defined by treatise and redefined through warfare. Allowing the borders to be fluid and approximate can leave more room for adventure.

    A bit off-topic, but your Arythea maps are great! It looks like you invested a lot of time in mapping your world. Very nice to see you also mapped some of the cities.
    Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.
