    Love the clever detail about the scale transferred on the boundaries

    I love the fact that all towns and castles look different.
    Is there a story behind the tree, which is depicted on the map and on the coat of arms as well?

    From what I could gather, it's a very old tree, planted by the founder of the kingdom from a seed received as a gift from a visiting queen that lived in a land far away. It's unique in the country, that's why it shows up on the coat of arms too.

    Sorry for the late reply; I've been super busy these days and wasn't too active on the forum. I finally managed to finish the coloring part, which will be posted soon.

    As always, even though the map is done and I can't do too much about it at this stage, any kind of feedback, comments and critiques are most welcome, as it will help for future maps.

    Thanks everyone for your comments and a special thank you to the most supportive wife ever. Not only she provides a ton of constructive feedback and encouragement on my mapping journey, but she agreed to postpone the trip we had planned for today just so I can finish this in time.
