Thanks for the kind words and comments!

Alfar, it's going through a bit of brightening as I try to get it to print decently. I think maybe my monitor is set too bright, because it looks pretty light on my monitor, but then I print it and the forests and mordor lose some of their definition in black.

Karro, I completely agree. I ended up having to give up on the fire/lava, as all of my attempts at it were ... well, awful. So I set the year of the map to the year before it erupts fantastically, and called it good.
