Sagitarii - practice city map

[Caenwyr]

Hi people! Let's start this day with another update shall we?

First of all I finalized the shading and a ton of tiny adaptations here and there, at which point I decided the the geographical part of this map was finished -- barring any remaining remarks from you guys of course!

As announced before, I went for a name change so I can use this map in my book. The city is now called Faltorn, and the orientation of the map is "east is up". This will help it fit with my regional map (where the sea is to the east of the city) and will solve the directional light problem (basically light coming from the NE is a no-no in this part of my world!).

Once that was done, I started work on the informational part of the map:

• widened the canvas to allow for the additional parts to be added;
• drew in a set of frames with corner decorations;
• took care of the labeling, both on the map itself and in the sidebar;
• added a shield (stolen shamelessly from my Aran & Ilan map), a very basic scale, and a compass rose in the shape of an anchor (this is after all a harbour city).
• Finally I tweaked the overall lightness a little bit. I noticed many of my maps are rather on the dark side, and it's about time I do something about that.

So that's it! I have two versions for you guys. One with the city quarters written in full on the map, and one with just letters and numbers. If I go for the former, I'll obviously have to rearrange the information pieces in the sidebar a bit, but since I'm really lazy this morning AND I kinda like the other version better, I'm gonna postpone that until you guys have convinced me it's indeed necessary. Which I hope it won't be.
