The Valley of Eghsal: a fantasy map for Daniel Ausema's forthcoming release "The Silk Betrayal" (Guardbridge Books). The concept of the story involves a long ago migration of people from a more tropical (India-esque) region of the world to the more rugged and unforgiving Valley of Eghsal. Only proximity to geothermal heat allows cities to thrive in this industrial-era landscape.

I'm not entirely satisfied with the illustrative elements of the map, but I'm definitely still working on that skill.

Looking forward to comments. Thanks all!
