    I actually meant the linework - the fact that the edge is visible on the south and east coasts but not so much on the west gives it a beveled look with the illusion that the south/east is more shaded.

    Argh, I'm a bit stuck then I though that a EO light direction gave a better view of this style of mountains... I'm not particularly enthusiastic about completely redoing the mounts or the coastline I'll see what I can do to mitigate this feeling... Tests time !

    Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it, it really doesn't hurt it. I only mentioned it so that next time you could plan for it if you chose.

    I darkened a bit the west coasts and removed som brown on the east ones, not sure if is it noticeable... Anyway, a bit of toponymy now:
    I've choosen Gallic roots for nameplaces, mostly based on this : https://archive.org/stream/lalangueg...ge/84/mode/2up (p. 85+) and this site : http://encyclopedie.arbre-celtique.c...gauloise-4.htm, both in French, sorry
    According to what I've read on the first link, I decided to place adjectives as prefixes, concatenated with a word representing most of the time a type of terrain or habitation and contracting the whole when I found it too long. Here is a list of towns and villages with their meaning/etymology :
    * avelocel: windy peak
    * caracito: chariots plain
    * cobocel: summit of victory
    * crarobrog: hornets country
    * cuneti: land of dogs
    * curmibona: beer village
    * dergodor: red door
    * duben: black cliff
    * dubrio: black bridge
    * lamarix: king's hand
    * liadun: splendid fortress
    * lute: mud
    * marodun: great fortress
    * mescotravobona : village of drunk bulls
    * mosodun : troubled fortress
    * novioritu : new ford
    * olben : great cliff
    * ordorate: bear's jail
    * pario : cauldron
    * senmag : old field
    * senodun: old fortress

    I don't know if I should name rivers and forests too, I don't want to overload the whole.
