    Doesn't seem very accurate, I don't think cathnoquey is supposed to be that far north. I understand you had to improvise for akavir and lyg since we don't actually know what they look like, but the location of Cathnoquey is known to be east of Morrowind.

    hi , thanks for answering , I haven't find any lore reference to that , do you have any?
    I placed north because this is a part of an arcipelago that starts with Roscrea and that island is said to be conquered by Solitude , so it was placed supposely west of Solstheim to be accessible by Solitude, as anything further east woudl have been contrasted by Windhelm .

    The only reference to Cathnoquey is in a book ? I never heard of that place before but : Lore:Cathnoquey - UESPWiki

    Outside of this factual debate, the map looks good but the white around the coastline is annoying.

    I'm just like Sharpes : glad to discover that there are other continents besides from Tamriel Plus, I think I prefer by far the shape of the other lands. Good job, though, I also think some improvements could be done on the coastlines.

    Yeah. I like the shape of Akavir and Aldmeris.

    As for the shape of other continents I did them , lol the Central continent is shape made by Bethesda .


    Btw My actual goal woudl be to make it look the most possible like a realistic map like if it was a google earth image , but I am experimenting some thechniques ....

    Not sure if I can post here the tests in case perhaps I should open a new thread somewhere else?
