Nice map. Very pleasant to look at, with a consistent color scheme and a "comic book" feel to me. I really like the land shape of your world map.
So I posted these a while ago in the finished maps section, and realized I was woefully lacking in detail. Thanks to the help of people like Deadshade, Eilathen, JBGibson, and Caenwyr, they are much more professional looking. I am rather proud of how they turned out, considering most everything was done with GIMP, which is fast becoming one of my favorite freehand drawing programs.
Anyways here we go.

The World of Terha with Nation Labels (still need to add details to certain biomes like forests and deserts)

Wow, these maps have improved quite a bit! Not that they were bad to start with, mind you. But i like them even more now. The mountains are a lot better looking now, imo. Well done!
Any chance for higher resolution maps? I would like to zoom in to see the details.
I'm trapped in Darkness,
Still I reach out for the Stars
I'm working on uploading bigger versions of the maps, but they are very large and the guild takes forever to complete the upload (sometimes it never completes). Once I figure out how, I will.
Okay, try these. I think these retained the size well enough.

Very nice maps!
I like land shapes, colors and fonts you used.
Larger resolution is now much better than before: in fact smaller toponyms are now easily readable.
I noticed that you used two kinds of boundaries among your nations: sharp ones (dotted red lines) and undefined ones (mixed national colors), especially in mountain ranges. I find that this difference is very fine!
Are you going to make other large scale maps of your world?
If you are referring to the grey lines in Dalmacia, those refer to the Demesnes of the thirteen ruling House Dominae; while Dalmacia is considered a republic, it is truly a union of city-states governed by an oligarchy of corrupt high-class nobles called the Dominae Quorum. The red dotted lines are just to give border definition to the colored regions of the thirteen nations, defining which areas of this map constitute a separate governing body. I posted the 2 different version of Aevon so with one you can locate all the cities within the entire Corridor (even ones outside of the Concordium), while the other shows you the official borders and names of the Thirteen Nations.
As of right now, i have no need to make other maps of this world, as the story it belongs to takes places primarily in Aevon. However, I love fleshing out my world and I love cartography, so who knows?
