This is gorgeous! Did Thomas give you the labels ?

Splendid work ! But I'm not sure about all of the french words... some seems a bit strange. Thomas has to confirm, I guess
I am amazed by the map you drew and ashamed of the advancement of your commission. Hopefully I'll have some time this week to work on it.
I really love the icons and beasts that roam on this land and, as I have said on Twitter, the gender swap on "La Spata" becoming "Le Spata" is a happy mistake as it matches the lore of the region : "Le Spata" (a Roman longsword) was the nickname of Kanoba during the war agains the Sorcerer King and "La Syrinx" (a Greek pipe) was his beloved Angusta's nickname during said war. Also, you can see Angusta (not the city) on the map
About the corrections, besides name there's a minor icon displacement but I'll reach John privately to not pollute the thread.
John, the map is way above my expectations !
Might as well post it here.
These are the changes I'd need. Minor typos in some names, some slightly misplaced icons (but it's important to complicate player's life) and a couple more labels. Also, if you feel inspired, you can name the north east mountain range as well as the south west one (or leave them blank) and you can also add any settlement or feature you want as a signature or joke (have fun). The map was designed to spark interest and ideas for my players and, even if I have my own ideas, the lore is for them to imagine and invent as we explore the land in game so, one or two or three more are always good adventure starters
Here's the file.

And once again, many thanks for that jewel
Splendid jewel, indeed. Le "fort des rousses", référence jurassienne?

Not nice for the Jura's people ! But the fort is absolutely magnificent !!!Des gobelins y affinent des fromages selon une recette naine donc, oui

Perfect ! Might I ask what you meant in English when you came up with "L'Ombre Massif" ? It sounds cool as it is mysterious but not very French.
BTW, the inside joke with Ilanthar and Joël is about "Le Fort des Rousses" named after a real location in the Jura, a part France located near the border of Switzerland and near Ilanthar home city Troyes. It really is an old citadel repurposed as a cheese aging facility (mostly if not exclusively conté cheese - it is delicious !).
PS : About Angusta ... clients have been acting like sharks in bloody water, the woodcraft takes longer than expected and my babygirl just got chicken pox ... I'll try and take a stab at it next week but I'm pretty sure it won't be finished in time but rest assured you'll see it done (with tie ins to some shared interests) soon enough.

It was to be something like the large shadow or the massive shadow, indicating the tall over-shadowing ridges, but also to indicate shadow.. like a shadow of mystique.
If it doesn't work, just let me know a name you would like it changed to.

Actually that's perfect ! In French the idea would translate like "L'Ombre Massive" but there's a word play here as "massif" means "mountain chain" so, even if it's surprising to the ear, it works perfectly and the strangeness of the name is an adventure starter by itself so, let's keep it
