    I feel your pain, Wolram. I had my share of perspective fails in past - devoting many hours of work to a picture (or a map), only to realize eventually that my perspective is not consistent at all...

    But I don't think you have to change your whole map. I've been looking at it more carefully, both zoomed in and out, and it seems to me that your Shattered Isles are seen from a three point perspective (with a third vanishing point somewhere bellow the Arvascr island and a bit eccentric), not from an isometric point of view. Maybe my perception is deceiving me, but the shapes of the landmasses work for me when I look at them, it's the tree/pillar on the central island of Arvascr that's confusing my brain...So, instead of going over 70 layers again, why don't you try to redraw just the pillar of Svargoroth, but this time in a three point perspective, and see if the result is satisfying to you? I'm guessing that it's only one layer, but it seems that it's the crucial one - if you get the perspective of the center of the map right, everything else might finally fit together.

    I still think The Halarnoth is a beautiful map, and I would like to see it finished...
