Area 51 - The Forsaken Land

[Azélor]

This will be my second region in Guild World.
I hope it will be an improvement on the style I used here: https://www.cartographersguild.com/a...4&d=1505272956
It is 3 times larger than the original and is covering 1,6 million square kilometres (give or take). Which is much smaller than my previous country (8,4m)

Some lore about the land:

Larges areas are dominated by the wilderness with dense jungles in the south.
The fauna is Australian-like but with fantasy added in the mix.
It is divided into several countries/regions because some are not real countries. They just have a theoretical control.

As the title says, the land appear to have been forsaken by the Gods, in particular.
A land divided prone to chaos and subject of external struggles.
The stability of the region is tied to the surrounding stability.
Kingdoms rose and fell because of foreigners interventions.
Financing the establishment of Crusaders states and Trading Republics to expand the boundaries of civilization and uproot the evil of the land.
Only to see them pushed back by the ferocious natives due to a lack of long-term strategy.

I spent time (too much probably) on planning the map, especially politics.

General geography :
Lack of colour indicate flat lands

Climates, with a very easy to read legend

Political borders (subject to change)
There are 18 different areas for the moment

Here is the actual map:

Most of the jungle at the moment is actually located outside the boundaries. I will make them fade away gradually.
I'm still not sure about the density of details I want in the jungle.
I will probably get rid of the river stroke since it gets in the way.

Hey, neighbor
Love the style of the map already. Looks very clean and I get a comic vibe from it.

Do you already have some names for your countries/regions so I could possible have some similiar but still different sounding naming conventions for my own country.

It is a nice map picture.
Expanding this map, you can see the detail well.

I think again. For everyone's map picture, there is a point I can learn.

Thanks!

Here's an update after almost 2 years.
There is probably going to be a spin off from that map later, based on content that was not appropriate to put here.

Almost all the linework is done.
Mountains need some work.

I'm still unsure if i want to add colours.
