Absolutely adore this song, so excited to see how you develop this.
For this challenge, I've picked the song -the Battle of Evermore- By Led Zeppelin (One of my favorite bands)
Here is a link to the song with the lyrics in the video and the description: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt2NrvdIY9E
I got pretty much everything in my head right now but one thing. I want to incorporate the lyrics in the map but I am unsure how. A part of the song speaks of "The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back..." I might use a runic font in a gold color for the lyric and turn it as a frame maybe. I struggle a lot to do frames but I will definitely give it a try.
I also want to try a few new thing that I have never did before if time is in my favor.
For now here is the continent outlines with the concept of the map according to the lyrics.

"We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams"
That's a strong start, well done Cedric. Excellent choice of Led Zeppelin, I get the feeling you could a lot of their songs.
"It is not down in any map; true places never are."

Great choice of band and song! I'll keep a close eye on your progress
Edit: *whispers* psst..small spellingerror in Queen of Light
Ah very nice. Led Zeppelin actually have great songs for this challenge. I really like that tail part of the map, (I'm sure there's a geographic term for that land marking) it reminds me of a part of Antarctica.
I've finished adding the basic line work and colors. Next is adding some details and shadows to the map.

I hope "Apple Threes" are a tiny fluffy red rodent that subsides predominantly on apples during apple harvest time, and they can be domesticated but boy can they strip an orchard, so a lot of people kinda hate them, even though they're the cutest things ever. They're in the Typo family, which proliferates throughout the valley region in Autocorrectia.
Anyway, I think the map's adorable and I love how you've handled the water shading.
