Map of Ekarode

Today, I finally finished the map of Ekarode I started last night. That will give you an idea of the geography of the continent and might help new members to choose their nation and make their character's backstory (for more info on the nations and their geography, read the Prologue to the story).

It was a lot of work pulling it together into my original idea. I couldn't find good trees to represent the forests, so I used different shades of the same color. Nightwood, Citileford and Hara Tougen all have large areas of forests, but Citileford is mostly covered in grasslands and shrublands (most forests were chopped down to build more cities), Nightwood's forests are much denser and Hara Tougen's forests are mostly separated taigas. The white area in the south represents the desert. The largest river in the continent, the Grand River, descends from the highest peak in the continent, Eleti's Peak, passing through three nations and flowing towards a small bay in Citileford, named Delta Bay after the delta the river ends in. Yoenne Bay connects Aoiwoi's southwestern coast with Nightwood, providing the fastest way of traveling between Citleford and Nightwood, without having to go through the Continental Division mountain range. Aoiwoi originally had more land (having all of the desert area), but "The Smiling Cat" surrendered a great part of the land to Citileford.

So, what do you think of the map? Is it illustrative or unnecessary? Was the description informative or worthless?

Ok, my problem is I can not tell between the colours in the map. But that might be down to my sight. Is this the same for anyone else?

I know it's hard to tell, but really, almost the entire map is dark peach.

Some of the words are not readable either but that is a slight colour issue. But if I focus it is fine. The map overall is clear and very helpful as a guide to where we are going.

I agree, some of the words you cant read because of the colour they are written in, but other than that it is perfect

I thought it was shaped very differently. And for some reason though that Nightwood was in the souht. Very informative.

I didn't want to make it similar to other continents or islands, although the bottom looks like Australia.
