I'm reading Mark Lawrence's brilliant "The Broken Empire" trilogy, fantasy novels set 1000+ years after the "Day of a Thousand Suns", when our world was destroyed in presumably a nuclear fireball. The sea levels rose, leaving a broken and half-drowned Europe, reduced to mediaeval technology.

It's a great series - I highly recommend - but only has fragmentary maps, so I really wanted to do a map of the whole of Europe. So this is based on a map of Europe with the sea level raised 300 feet/91 metres. The countries and cities are as described in the books and accompanying maps.

This is very much a work in progress - Draft 1 is just getting the data on the page, I'll play with some different style designs and see how it works out.

Base map from Fractal Terrains, the rest done in Photoshop CS6 with Wacom tablet.
