Yes, it's another map from this stunning Guild World project...
Pure black and white, trying to develop a particular mountain and forest style. Created with procreate on ipad and inkscape for the labelling.

Sliss'Ash'Schtû is the homeland of the Ashteens, large bipedal dinosaur who consider the world as a vast hunting ground. All of the feudal society turned to the exclusive satisfaction of its dominant caste, the Warrior Lords who spend their time between their domain management and the Great Hunt.
All species, that they are endowed with intelligence, represent a potential prey to which compliance is granted only if it is worthy of a good hunting for them...
For centuries, the Ashteens reigned as masters on their ancestral lands. Their life was beautiful and joyful, hunting the inferior races or harnessing them to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Then came the Dwarves and their fierce obstinacy to dig rocks and pierce the scales of the world. The hunts became dangerous and deadly. The Ashteens had that respect tenfold these beings of small sizes but with disproportionate ego.
But when some of them suggested the idea that these beings could be staffed with the Ashma, the first split occurred. The Siss' Ashteens wanted to regulate hunting and establish seasons to allow the dwarves to reproduce and let them take forces or even establish an agreement with them. The Schtû'Ashtéens wanted to keep the ancestral traditions and allow the nobles to be free of their choice and their hunting.
Then came the men and the tensions intensified. They wanted to trade and carried in their luggage the Cheese. These were among the Siss'Ashteens that arose the first Ashguls, those who drugged, drown their Ashma in the torpor of the cheese flavors.
The parties of the Schtu'Ashteens saw the demon at their door and stressed their position, seeking to establish a Cheese ban on the whole of the territory. But the parties of the Siss'Ashteens didn't want to let their achievements unravel. Independent territories arose and wars broke out.
