This map was a commission for a novel, intended for print. Created in Gimp/Inkscape using icons made for this map.

I'm still working on a simplified e-book version.

I make use of Wag's mountain brushes.
Nice job RobA!
Great work, though the mass of mountains makes it a little cluttered in my opinion. It will be interesting to see the simplified version.
Lovely work Rob!

Cool map, I bet there is a lot of volcanic activity there.
It was specifically required to have that mountain density. I originally had less but was asked to fill them in more. That is why I dropped the mountains down to a shade of grey rather than full black as originally done. With them solid black you could barely make out the cities in the names.
The Y seems to be a religious icon for the mountain tribes.
Thanks for the praise!
