    Amazing work. It's so bold that I have to ask; what is the Nullambit?

    And yeah, working with that many labels, trying to arrange them just so, without running into any other labels... it's a nightmare.
    Yeah this one was pretty heavy on the labels. The other half of the map has a lot less labels (hurrah for rainshadows!)

    The Nullambit: is a region and supranatural phenomena that spans the globe, at an angle to the equator. It is equidistant from the Atramental and Firmamental fonts (the Black Fountain and the Menisucs; at 8o57’33”S 27o56’20”W and 8o57’33”N 152o03’40”E, respectively) and is the farthest point from the two regions, circumventing the globe of Elyden.

    The closer one gets to the Nullambit the weaker the effects of the Atramenta and the Firmament become, making shaping and technarcane use a lot more difficult. The farther one moves from the Nullambit (and closer to the antipodes of the Black Fountain or the True Meniscus) the stronger relative shaping becomes and the more pronounced the respective effects become. Within a radius of 10 - 100-miles of the antipodes survival becomes close to impossible, with both the Atramenta and the Firmament coming up many horrific and inventive ways of debilitating and killing mortal life there.

    TLDR: it’s another equator at a tangent to the real one, whose poles are the two magical fonts, which are antipodes.

    the below image should show what i mean. The nullambit itself is labelled as such and the other line mark every 10o from it to the respective Atramental of Firmamental fonts
