Continent of Anasthias - 1930s gazetteer style

[Robulous]

This is a "modern"-style map of my continent of Anasthias, the heart of the Civilised World in my world of Helevos. (See previously a historic map, and a world map).

I was originally inspired by old gazetteers and maps of the 1930s - particularly a family Pears Cyclopedia which inspired me to create the side maps with more facts and information.

Thanks to everyone in the WIP thread, you've really helped me rethink and improve it a lot! Comments from all you talented guild members has really helped me improve my mapmaking. I could tinker with this map for ever but this is as close to finished as I have time for right now.

Harthera and Orror are two enormous rival nations: Orror a vast, relatively benign theocracy (the Ottoman Empire on a good day); Harthera an aggressive naval imperial power (Napoleon if he'd had the British Navy). Technologically Harthera is roughly early Victorian, though the rest of the world lags far behind. Anarthis, Munatan and Torthien are regions with multiple nations, in which the Great Powers squabble for influence in a kind of cold war/scramble for Africa.
