Hello Guild,

It's been some time since I posted something. I have slowly been working when I had some spare time and this is the result of some of the new things I have been trying. I consider it almost done but before really finishing it I would love to get some feedback from you guys.

The map shows the City-States of Vandoria, Galindor, Galina, Dalmony and Estyria, as they are in 1653 A.D.A (After the Death of Atya) along with the basic layout of the lands surrounding it. It also shows sea routes and major land routes as it was designed for trade purposes.

Here follows a brief history of the City-State Union for anyone interested:

The City-States were once part of the great Garykia Kingdom as autonomous vassals desiring independence from the kingdom for many decades already. When the Garykian king faced major rebellions in the east of his Kingdom the City-States took their chance and declared their war for independence. After two years of war the States had occupied many inland cities and the king, who had little success suppressing either of the rebellions, was forced to sign a peace treaty granting the States their independence from his kingdom and control of all the lands occupied during the war.
In the following years there were some minor wars among the weakened States, mostly concerning territorial conquest. When the Garykia king once again set his eyes on the States and started constructing large numbers of watchtowers and forts along the borders, the City-States formed a union which became known as the City-State Union. Though relations between the States have never been superb, they have remained allies for many decades.
Today they are a major trading power in the west of the continent of Atya and have established a military force equal to the great Garykia Kingdom.
