Reply With QuoteI really like your map style, but I especially like the way you've treated the history of your world. Great job!
The second age begins (Traeslaen) as old feuds reignite. The nations of Draekeln and Eldaeron, the former seats of the slain demi-gods Rand and Forn, the sparks which erupted into the Trine War, are now ruled by mortal kings. Yet despite the deaths of Rand and Forn, emnities continue to thrive. The War of the Three Seasons ends with Riendaln fallen, the Eldaeron king executed, and Draekeln victorious.

Thanks very much!Originally Posted by plamadude30k
History still marches forward: The middle kingdoms split away from Great Tanis and form the Emerald Confederation, led by the demi-god Dorn and his three sons.
A rebellion in Draekeln births the new nation of Hemicia (1183). Riendaln is sacked once again and all of Eldaeron is annexed by Avaleign (1192). The Emerald Confederation disbands and its lands become controlled by clan chieftans and warlords, other parts are siphoned by the control of expanding neighbors such as Llaene and Grand Corim (1203-1207).
Nice map, I really like the historical work your putting into this.
Thanks again.
With Eldaeron conquered, border tensions between Avaleign and Draekeln rise to provoke war once again. In a daring attempt to bring Avaleign down, Draekeln sends one army, the Sintris, north while another army, the Fahn, sails around Faldern, intending to then march south to Balin-Dran itself. Caught by ravaging sea storms takes the Fahn ships off-course, however, and they mistakenly land on shores held by Great Tanis. Heroes are born and slain amidst the conflict. The Sintris army is eradicated while the Fahn army has no choice but to surrender. Draekeln is forced to cede territory as Eldaeron is reestablished and Llaenish occupation occurs. The remaining Fahn forces, with no way home, are given mercy by the king of Great Tanis after they swear allegiance to him and are allowed to establish the territory of the Rundvelt.
War erupts between Llaene and Grand Corim and Llaenish forces are victorious at the Battle of Triendor, then begin their march toward Aviroth. Grand Corim also faces defeat from Klastian insurgents on the Klehorn Isles. In the west, Dalraissia continues its conquest of Benalia.
Nice map - and a great continent shape.
For rivers, one or two look odd, but the worst offender is the one that joins three rivers in a mountain somewhat southeast of the center. Of course if this is a fantasy world you could somehow explain it, but a better solution might be to simply reroute them and start them in different places.
Thanks very much. That continent is the result of a decade of slow evolution via hand drawings. I am very proud of it.
The river region you're referring to, I'm assuming, is this one?
Llaene's campaign into Grand Corim halted as the legions of Grand Corim counter-attacked. Llaenish forces were in disarray and internal feuds resulted in the split of the kingdom under the rule of two kings. This left Llaene vulnerable, which Draekeln pursued, reclaiming Seara (1265). Meanwhile, Grand Corim continued to lose ground on the Klehorn Isles to Klastian revolts, losing Mildaera and Inissaede. After losing vast amounts of territory on two fronts, Llaene sued for peace in 1270.
