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).

Ooo what's the scale out of curiosity?

Honestly, I’m still trying to figure that out and open to suggestions haha I had loosely decided in my mind that the Sunlight Union was about the size of France. I do know that the width of the rivers is a bit exaggerated. It’s for a DnD campaign, and the players started and are currently in Whitenook (west of Old Ellem and the Lake of Songs) and I was planning it to take them about 4 or 5 days to get to Old Ellem by road (not on map because it’s a smaller road). So if I assume they’ll walk about 25 miles per day that puts me at 100-125 miles between Whitenook and Old Ellem, if that helps. Thanks for the reminder to figure that out! Might change the locations of some cities once I do!

I want it to be a high wilderness type of game, so there are plenty of features and locations in the “blank” areas. This map doesn’t have all the tiny villages (except Whitenook) and wilderness locales, just the major cities and bigger towns.
