World of Skenth WIP

[Viking]

Hi guys. Here is the map of the world the previous Genth coastal map I posted belongs to:
Skenth - The known world 008.jpg

Here is a portion where most of civilization exists. The paths over the water and corresponding numbers are supposed to be estimated travel times in days by ship:

My biggest priorities at the moment are working on the geography and the border with other tasks momentarily secondary. I am trying to decide between the following four options to flank this little circular design I am making. I intend to have 4 corner portraits with illustrations and 10 side portraits with illustrations in them too. Any suggestions are welcome on which of the four options may look best! :

This map started off as an earlier map way before my Genth map looking thus:

As you can probably tell, I've been going through the process of upgrading the map to a fuller painted out look which is still ongoing in the north west. The south east started out as brush strokes and not as lines so that explains the discontinuity but I will unify them eventually. This baby is going to take me quite a while!
