The Civilized Realms and the Near Wilderness

[ThomasR]

The clash between the red linework and the blue of the sea is delightful plus all the usual compliments your maps always deserve (not to self : make a generic dithyrambic comment related to D's work to save some time).

This is a stunning piece, Diamond! There's so much going on, especially in the south, but nothing seems cluttered or chaotic. Great work!

Beautiful map and super great job. I hope to reach this quality with mines one day.

This is my January 2018 Challenge entry (under a different name: The Great Railroad). It shows part of a continent that has suffered not only ecological collapse in it's past, but also a terrible civil war which tore apart the main Empire that use to dominate this part of the world. Technology level is around late 19th century, but so infused with sorcery that its sometimes not easy to draw a parallel with our world's counterparts. A good example is the Railmen's Guild and their locomotives. They are a fusion of steam tech and magic; one of the main components of the engine is a thing called an Urn, which can take anything fed into it and turn it into fuel. Without the Urn, the engine can be run with back-up coal reserves, etc., but much more inefficiently.

Sometimes I want to reach through the internets and strangle you. Meant with nothing but love, of course.

You know, i believe you

I really like how you have included the family shields into the map. The overtall tone is a bit too red for my taste, but its very good map!
