    Like it very much...after spending a few more minutes looking it over I have some additional comments/questions/suggestions.


    1. Tarth - It's called the emerald isle, like my earlier comment regarding the vale I think it needs to appear a bit more lush.
    2. Did you purposely leave off Peter Baelish's "castle" in the fingers? Can't remember if it actually shows up on any of the maps. Same with the Mormont home on Bear Island.
    3. Usually not a big fan of red text on maps (with or without an outer glow), but your's works wonderfully.


    Again, great work.

    1. Another good point. It went straight to my to-do list.
    2. I wasn't able to pinpoint the exact locations yet. If you have any text passages or other sources that might help, please post. As I said, I'm thankful for any hints.
    3. I know it's somewhat unusual. I tried to keep the saturation down, so I hope this helps a bit on the eye-hurting side. The main purpose is as an additional way to identify castle names quickly, opposed to towns and other locations.

    You are most welcome. I wasn't too sure myself if this would work.

    I did some last tweaking with the water and some other details, so I'm calling this one pretty close to finished.

    I'm still open to and also thankful for any more suggestions, but I'm eager to move on to other projects, so now's the time I guess.

    Thanks to all who helped.

    That is, hands down, the best Westeros map I've ever seen. I gnash my teeth in envy at your skill!

    Hopefully if GRRM sees this it'll give him the motivation to stop screwing around and finish the #!@$! series...

    You just summed up what all the fans are thinking.
    Just kidding, of course.



    ...or am I?
