    If someone gets a ban then they suffer a banishment. So perhaps it's quite apt that my puns are inflicting a punishment on the Guild

    Punning the word pun has to be a double pun at least

    Wow, I missed this thread ! Beside of the jokes and funny names, this map is well balanced and meticulous. I particulary like this coastlines technique which gives depth. Colors are nice and relaxing, too. Bravo !

    Okay, now thanks to you Straf, that region is definitely becoming one you want to avoid...

    Thanks, Tenia. The names just sort of evolved and were never supposed to be quite so much of the focus, but I'm pleased the overall style is comign across nicely.

    Here's a quick update. Mainly more names, and a little inset I quickly put in. The country name positions/style I'm not 100% sure on yet, and will probably be tweaked a bit before the end. Also, I still need a load more names to add to the map!

    Thanks again guys!

    Another update with pretty much all the labelling. I'm not 100% sure on some of the positioning of the country/state names, so if anyone's got any thoughts let me know.

    I've also added a touch of wear to the piece, but again I'm not sure if it's too much or not.

    Anywho, enough writing, here's the latest

    This is very nice Gregory. I really like the look of this map. I have taken a quick first look and I think all the labels are fine, but perhaps someone else might spot some imperfections. My only comment would be that I think you should change the color of Avalonös to Blue, since you've got 2 red regions next to each other.
