Glad to see you getting stuck in Troedel! The map is looking great!
Meh, he's a soldier. His sergeant probably taught him to spell. Can't fault him for not being able to spell hand, with, or nailed.

Regarding the the spelling... I hopefully get it right in the end. Thx for pointing out.
After I had a little ( very little ) conversation with lapada I decided to give my art skills a little chance. His project got my envy and there is always some ideal to go for. What the hell, you´ve got a tablet, a PC and some imagination. So I scribbled the evening away with just a little piece for my little map. Ladies and Gentleman... my try at my troll I am proud to say, and there may be a little excuse in it, that this is the first time I finished such a thing and did not hit delete at the first chance.

Honestly your troll looks pretty good.
On a side note I can't help but think that in so many different stories trolls are so different from each other. In Willow they were little disgusting hairballs. In Warhammer they are giant lanky warty creatures with unwashed 80's rockstar hairstyles. In the Tad Williams book I am reading right now they look like human children with perfectly smooth skin and are not excessively hairy.

I really like how your towns look like cherry blossom tree branches. Guess they have been in there for a while and it just came to me now.

Some useful cartography facts:
Circumference (C) of the Earth is about 25,000 miles or 40,000 km.
Highest point on Earth is 5.5 miles (8.9 km) above sea level (ASL/BSL).
Lowest point of land on Earth is 1/4 mile (0.4 km) BSL.
Lowest elevation in the ocean is 6.8 miles (10.9 km) BSL.
And our solar system:
C of Jupiter = 279,118 miles (449,197 km).
Highest mountain is Olympus Mons on Mars. It is 16 miles high (24 km) and is the size of Arizona.
