    Yeah, so, it's more of the strange naming conventions that spring from the recesses of my peculiar mind. This time, splattered across the Old World.
    But what then, are the Filth-Lords? And what is life like living in an Aetherdom? And how does one worship a grudge, exactly? You know better than me.

    A bit of cutting and tweaking the lovely work of the Central Intelligence Agency, from shadedreliefarchive.com. Great resource. A bit of grunge layering. Some googling for cool stuff like border art, compass rose, wave texture, etc. Work, rework, trial and error, until you like what you have.
    And done.

    Great work! Love the colouring and those really cool mountains.

    The map is really good. I like the water and mountain pattern.

    Caspian sea missing though, and many waters such as Finland's lakes. Caspian Sea shouldn't be on it fully but a bit at least.
    Seems to happen alot with ''real'' world maps.
    iirc Max had also a map with several border mistakes,
    Europe from before ww1 or so?

    Well, you're not wrong. The Caspian should be in there. Approximately this much:

    Quotation-affixed "real" being the operative word here. I can see how the land shape might fool you, but the national borders and legend really should give you the hint: this is not real Europe. This is "real" Europe. This is my Europe. Actually, my Weird Europe. See what I did there? Because that's the title of this thread... so... yeah.
    In Weird Europe, the Caspian Sea and the lakes of Finland do not exist. In fact, no lakes at all exist. In Weird Europe, there is no such thing as a lake. The physics and geology simply don't allow for them. The word "lake" doesn't even exist in the languages of Weird Europe: not in Pulsaric, not in Ghülspråk, not in Nasgundish, not in the bloated death-rattle speech that is Bloat-Tongue, the language of the dreaming dead of Dacfallow. And that's why they're not represented in my map. You see? Easy.

    I haven't seized the opportunity to comment on this map yet and I'd like to say, it's a great idea ! I love the alienness of the locations names, it's really a weird Europe !
