For me simply the best map on Cartography Guild site.
Completely gorgeous work. As so many people have said, the mountains are amazing. and I would love to be able to pull those off so well. Good font choices, too! Everything you've done is classic and very readable without being boring.
One extremely minor quibble. When you're talking about geography, "strait" is the proper spelling for a narrow body of water, not "straight". Just so you know!
I think that's what's called a brain fart. I suck.Originally Posted by DanielSomerville
You know, I noticed that too when I first looked at the map, but then I looked at other maps by Daelin and on subsequent ones, it was spelled "strait", so I figured he already knew ....
I have been trying for weeks to make a map and am struggling. This is truly a beautiful map and certainly motivational for me to keep trying. <3
gorgeous, absolutely stunning.

Unless I explicitly state otherwise you have my permission to use my maps in any capacity needed just give me credit. If you make money off them somehow, that's awesome - let me know! In fact, I LOVE to hear about the ways maps I make are used.
This map is a great inspiration and motivational piece, no?
This map is absolutely gorgeous! Already my favorite map. Do you plan to draw someday the rest of Alemnia? I would love to see it.
I had the same impression at first. At the south portion (shown in the map) of Thyrimland, there is a jungle, it is probably located in an equatorial position. North of Sethoin is covered by tundra, so, most of the map is between the equatorial line and the subpolar line. Subtropical and tempered zones seems to be the most common zones.Beautiful map indeed. The compass and the way it radiates is a really nice touch too. The only thing that I find distracting perhaps is that this map makes me feel kinda.. cold ?
If you were talking about the colors, sorry, my mistake.
No. Though my recent map, Southeastern Solvena, could be considered a part of the same world as Alemnia. But how the rest of Alemnia or Solvena or indeed that entire world looks, I have zero idea. The maps are meant as one-offs, and during the making of them, I paid much more attention to the style and look of the map, than the actual geography.
This map is simply beautiful!
