    Well, here's an update with some labels. Most are gods from numerous mythologies and some are even in proper context.
    Think of this map as a default starting view of a magical map that could be zoomed in or made to display all kinds of information available through use of magic.

    The eastern part of this map beyond the mountains is practically a glacier and it contains undead and cold-type monsters who keep humans as slaves or for food.
    The islands of Dagon and Hydra and the Isles of Haddad are lifeless rocky places as if caused by some great cataclysm. People who go to those islands tend not to come back.
    The Three Islands of Zorya have been given names since sightings of dragons have been made there by sailors.


    Of special places:
    The Fountain of Gods is a special location that holds a divine water pumping station. There actually would be remains of aqueducts and other very old technology.
    Ruins of Brakor are the remains of ancient city in a valley between mountains. It is rumoured that they are as old as the aqueducts of Fountain of Gods.

    Of cities, marked with black square and white glow:
    Midir, Andvar, Tuoni and Halls of Misthra are underground cities populated by dwarves.
    Coatlicue and Polevik are elven cities.
    All other are human city-states.

    If this is your full size then I'd make the text a lil bit bigger so that it's easier to read. If this is a reduced size image then ignore. I like what you have going on with those mtns and hills in the snowy region. Oh also, one more step to go that I forgot to mention...the deeper ocean (the part not in the shelf) needs to be darker.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
    -J. Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atom bomb) alluding to The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32)

    Ok, texts enlarged and that's the best I could do with the deep ocean as the original psd corrupted. I thought about having roads but then it would clutter the map too much for my taste and purpose.
