The Delta

[Feadel]

It doesn't really look like a delta so much as a bunch of, for lack of a better term, "ordinary" islands. The way the distributaries branch off back, seemingly uphill just doesn't look right and their banks are too crinkly looking.

Deltas tend to have lots of smooth curves, and they are, as a necessary result of how they form, flat. You don't find mountains or hills in the middle of deltas. It's also odd to find a significant waterfall close to a delta.

It looks beautiful otherwise.

Considering the scale, it's not really a delta (for the reasons pointed out) but it may be called "The Delta" by the people living there for any number of reasons. The three heads make a triangle (for example) that may be "The Delta" in some magical or historical way. I'm sure there are other possibilities.

Intense heat from the Rift would make any water that went inside it evaporate into a scalding steam, would lead to people not surviving (probably), plus no water. Maybe you're thinking of something more magical though. Its a good looking map though, makes me think of deserts and barbarians for some reason.

I played around with contrast and values, and added a light glow around the heads.

Those heads look ... very orange. They were left htere by the orange goblins of yore, eh?

The heads are my favorite part.

Great work on it. Highlighting the heads is a pretty good idea, since i didn't even noticed them in the firsts versions ! And, it's a detail, but i like the way you rendered the falls on the top right of the map.

Thank you all.
@Feadal: good idea with the heads as origin for the 'delta'.
@Lukc: No; a group of Dutchmen made beer-festivals there!
