Ok, for the benefit of others who may be interested (and constructive feedback is always welcome) we have begun on the East.
I worked up an initial view, and am now updating based on feedback from AslanC. I left the working notes attached, couldn't be bothered to turn them off. Plus if you have comments that would be addressed by the notes, you can see what is and isn't in the works.
Bring it on! (and eventually I will sleep...)

A good start, indeed.
Thanks for letting us see the "production notes".
Ok, here's the latest, with changes made as per the working notes above.
I also ran the map through Wilbur to get the rivers.. i ended up removing about half the ones that generated, with the size we're doing the rivers it was a bit whelming.
It's actually not too far off where I was thinking to add them anyhow, so that gives me confidence that my placement of rivers by impulse follows good logic
[edit] erm, forgot to build in the nile-type delta after placing the river - oops!

Update! Pending further modifactions, I'm happy with it as is
Plus I did a border in a similar style to the previous NDotW map for that sense of consistency - but with a more middle eastern feel to it to fit the region better
Dang, these things keep getting bigger and bigger.

That looks amazing!
And as I said I would put total trust in you on this one, I shall
I guess it is up to me to start labeling this badboy

My only point of criticism is that some of those rivers look awfully straight. Are they intended to be canals?
I think, therefore I am a nerd.

Well, that's Wilbur's fault
