Map of Mordor

[Terminator X]

This is my first map....be kind! Had serious problems placing rivers so might place them in later.

Thats not bad. My main crit is that since the text is black then sitting it on dark grey mountains is going to make reading it a little difficult. You could move the text to the side or add a glow effect around the letters of a color that is similar to the background so as to shield them from the grey mountains.

I agree, put a white border around the text, or move it off the mountains. Maybe add some shading over the region that is Mordor as if it were a watercolor/antique tinting so there is some definition about what is "mapped" and what isn't (Here be Dragons).

I agree with the previous posters and would like to add that the mountains could use a little more density. Right now you can see the individual symbols pretty clear wchich gives the mountains a look of uniformity. Rigth above "Mordor" it looks much better. Otherwise... keep going
