    Wow. Gorgeous. At first I thought it looked a bit full / cluttered but I was wrong. I love the zoom-ins and the art. I think there are a few naming issues, but I would read these books just to be able to use the maps!

    I am glad you like them Justkae. Naming issues? Please share.

    The straight names look... too straight, in comparison to some of the words which are VERY curved. The large variation in letter-spacing is also confusing. In general you should have certain items have a matching look (all roads, streets, paths; all towns, villages, cities; forests; mountains and mountain ranges; specific buildings/locations) in terms of spacing, alignment, curvature.

    Code:
    And, for example, "T  h  e      T  h  i  e  v  e  s       T  h  r  e  a  d" instead of "The        Thieves         Thread"
    I also understand the desire to have the Loop and the Barrel be written circular in which case it should read "Looters Loop" and "Barters Barrel" rather than "Looters ԀOO˥" and "Barters ˥Ǝɹɹ∀q" OR have both words together on top or bottom

    The spacing for "The Lion's Main" also looks odd. see Thieves Thread

    That is good advice. I will fix those changes. Thank you justkae.
