The Swamps of Rasfadal

Delicious! - uh, I mean, excellent! I really like the smooth lines, and especially the village one!

Thanks MMM!

Your lineart is always super neat and clear, it looks nice! There is something about the coastlines on the former map or the ocean around them that bother me a tiny bit - I can't say for sure if I think they are a little too bright compared to the deep green-ish hue of the ocean. Maybe the rings around them together with the softer light coloring together is a bit too much...? I'm not certain.

The problem doesn't really persist in the second map, whatever it is. I love how delicate the linework is in that one.

Thank Kel! Hmm, I'm not entirely sure what you mean? Are you referring to the white lines around the coast, or the lighter shade of green/yellow?

Always great when it comes from you, Dan !
I just have a problem with my eyes constantly looking at this bridge not following the grid : I totally understand it's volunteer but... but... _it's not following the grid_ (!!) and I'm unable to see anything else

Thanks Beee! I hate when town and city maps are perfectly lined up to a grid. So I decided to sacrifice some OCD satisfaction for assymetry. But yeah, part of me want to rotate the map to fit the grid too!

Absolutely gorgeous! Love the village map.

Thanks ChickPea!

Very nice maps, Daniel, as per usual .

Thank you Ilanthar!

I'm honestly not sure I know what I mean myself. I think it's both. I.e. the tone looks too light when you have both the lines and the background/ocean color much lighter too? It's not terrible, by any means, but for some reason it looks a little bit off to me.

Can't rep you again, but great map, love the color choice here! =)

Thanks Steffen!

Hmm... Maybe it just doesn't need the white rings around the coast with the lighter shade around the coast.

Here's the next map in the set, Gyn's Tower



Since long before anyone can remember, House Hurmuir owned the tower that overlooked the southern ends of Hare Bay. The Lords Hurmuir lived there with their spouse and controlled the region known as Duwyn Mire.
When the War in the West broke out, Lord Dunkur Humuir was called to fight and he took with him his son, Darstur. Lord Dunkur achieved many victories and became a hero. No one thought he could be beaten.

That changed when Lord Dunkur and his men were ambushed by enemy soldiers; before anyone knew what was happening, they had been overrun and defeated. Lord Dunkur fell, and only a handful of people made it out alive. One of those people was Lord Dunkur's son, Darstur, now the new Lord Hurmuir. Before he died, Lord Dunkur told his son: "Go home safe!". Darstur promised his father he would, and continued fighting for the remainder of the war.

When the war was over, Darstur went home, only to find the Tower of Hurmuir taken over by bandit-king Gyn! In an attempt to safe his family and reclaim the tower, Darstur charged the tower with his men, but the bandits were able to fend them off. He was forced to go back to the capital and request assistance from the king. When he arrived there the king told him that he had already send out most of his troops to reclaim The Swamps and that he couldn't spare any more.

Lord Darstur does not intent to forsake his promise and reclaiming the tower will always be his first and foremost priority!

Gyn's tower offers a nice set of opportunities for adventurers. They can help Lord Darstur reclaim the tower and safe his family, or they can offer their support to bandit-king Gyn. Help him get rid of Darstur and expand his influence. Of course they might also want to take the tower for themselves, and see what valuables might be inside?

As always, let me know your thoughts!
