Bit more progress. I had a little fit about scale and had to backtrack a bit... resized my main cities, added to-be-named markers for smaller villages, and added more islands and coastline detail (so now I'm having to redraw my coastal border). Off-screen, I also altered sizes on the rest of the map, and added a few more landmasses to balance it out (!). Also, paths!
I think my plan at this point is to get this portion of the map to a finished state, and then move on to the rest in chunks. That way I'll have a finished piece to show sooner, and hopefully a set style I can maintain (also motivation).

Thanks for the views and comments guys!
