Welcome!
The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Map for a low-fantasy novel (small map, cute and interesting)
It is based on my life story and intends to show the power of video gaming. The novel occurs in an archetypal type of fantasy, good versus evil; light versus darkness. I attached a map I've drawn myself, but I make a poor cartographer. So, I attached separately a PDF with all the information where I also added definitions to places in the map (delete the "png" extension to view it) and even 3D images I created for you to get a better understanding of how I imagine things. Could anyone help me draw a better map, please?
