Oct / Nov '18 Lite Challenge: Island of Nowhere

[Gidde]

I actually meant the linework - the fact that the edge is visible on the south and east coasts but not so much on the west gives it a beveled look with the illusion that the south/east is more shaded.

[Tenia]

Argh, I'm a bit stuck then I though that a EO light direction gave a better view of this style of mountains... I'm not particularly enthusiastic about completely redoing the mounts or the coastline I'll see what I can do to mitigate this feeling... Tests time !

[Gidde]

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it, it really doesn't hurt it. I only mentioned it so that next time you could plan for it if you chose.

This is absolutely lovely, Tenia! Looking forward to your next update.

I darkened a bit the west coasts and removed som brown on the east ones, not sure if is it noticeable... Anyway, a bit of toponymy now:
I've choosen Gallic roots for nameplaces, mostly based on this : https://archive.org/stream/lalangueg...ge/84/mode/2up (p. 85+) and this site : http://encyclopedie.arbre-celtique.c...gauloise-4.htm, both in French, sorry
According to what I've read on the first link, I decided to place adjectives as prefixes, concatenated with a word representing most of the time a type of terrain or habitation and contracting the whole when I found it too long. Here is a list of towns and villages with their meaning/etymology :
* avelocel: windy peak
* caracito: chariots plain
* cobocel: summit of victory
* crarobrog: hornets country
* cuneti: land of dogs
* curmibona: beer village
* dergodor: red door
* duben: black cliff
* dubrio: black bridge
* lamarix: king's hand
* liadun: splendid fortress
* lute: mud
* marodun: great fortress
* mescotravobona : village of drunk bulls
* mosodun : troubled fortress
* novioritu : new ford
* olben : great cliff
* ordorate: bear's jail
* pario : cauldron
* senmag : old field
* senodun: old fortress

I don't know if I should name rivers and forests too, I don't want to overload the whole.

Nice job ! And many thanks for the websites ! That's really useful !
The map looks really nice : good job with the labels (I like the drawings), the sea and the cliffs looks really good too !
