    Map Map Sucks, Help Wanted

    Attachment 74776Attachment 74779I've been working on this map for a fantasy novel I'm writing, and I drew up a sketch. I thought it wasn't half bad too, until I saw other maps on this site. After this, I realized that it was half bad, but luckily I'm only a hobbyist, so I can be less than perfect. So, without further ado, the map.

    Arulan v.2.png

    In this map, there are five provinces: Arden, the western province of Men, whose capital is Regalia; Luxen, the southern province of magic, and with Acropolis as its capital; Trevyck, the eastern sprite province, and with its capital of Verrda; Kragg, the mountainous northwestern province, home of the Kraggites and with Abyssek as its capital; and Necroa, the northeastern "bad-guy" province, with Mortem Locus as its capital. There are a few things I need help on:

    A new way to draw the mountains (by hand)

    An approach to giving detail to the coastline

    New places to build cities, and possibly names to go along with them

    Any suggestions relating to the provinces would also be welcome.

    Thanks!

    P.S. Sorry about the bad pencil strokes, it was a fast sketch. Also, is there any free software for map building, and if so, where can I download it?
