I wanted to see if I could make a map based on an existing world. Partly this was to see how it would work making a map when I couldn't just plonk down features where I want but also so that I wouldn't have to come up with names for everything. I selected the old world from the warhammer fantasy setting just because it's one I'm familiar with (sadly it's been destroyed and replaced by Games Workshop).

Some elements have ended up working better than others. In my opinion the map ended up a little bit cluttered with labels but I didn't even include everything from the base map I was working from. I also wanted to do a border with some cool knotwork but when I looked into that it seemed like it was going to be really complicated and take a lot longer than I was willing to invest on a border at this stage!
