Freehold
A just-for-fun map I did a while back and never got around to posting until now. I always try to give my maps a (somewhat) interesting mix of cultures, so this one has Indian/SEAsian-based Yangara, Gothic/Roman Kant and Beklos, central Asian Kambul, and various mixed stuff in the north. Naturally a lot of names are recycled from my other maps cause that's how I roll (and it's hard thinking up new names).
I wanted to try something very subtle, not just with coloring, but with land forms, so I used some brushes made from various mountains on Blaeu maps, toned the opacity way down, and kept the map really light on other features. I wanted most of the focus to be on names, but without the names being TOO overpowering. You'll have to be the judge as to whether I succeeded or not.
Hope you enjoy!
