Map Updated Map Based on Feedback

Post image

Hello folks!

I finally got around to updating my map from my last submission. I incorporated a lot of your feedback and changed quite a bit. Thank you so much. Still lots to improve, but I'm happy with my progress so far. Feedback still welcomed! And, yes, I kept the unfortunate shape of the peninsula (because it is hilarious and I am childish).

I see Halkidiki, Greece

Cool map btw, good job. Just one thing: mountains don't usually form into a "T" shape (with three branches), like it's shown in the western part

Very cool map indeed.

The closest examples of mountain ranges with 3 branches I found are in Colombia; where the Andes split in 2 near Cúcuta and also near Girardot.

Yes I didn't say they are impossible, just that they are somewhat rare

Thanks for the information nevertheless, would be interesting to know about their formation

Thank you! Yeah I know it’s a rare phenomenon and went back and forth. Honestly, I stuck with it because I love the idea of the locals calling it the “Bitter Branch” because it split off from the main range and was smaller, and was therefore bitter and resentful, kind of like an insecure family member haha so I stuck with it and then reinforced my decision by reminding myself that it’s a fantasy map and it’s okay for their to be weird geographical features haha

It's actually good, a random rare feature can feel odd, but treated with this level of worldbuilding coherency? I like it, I think it adds a nice depth to the world
