    I like the subtle coloration! Looks really nice so far.

    Hi All,

    I have most of pieces in place. I've reached out to the Malazan Empire forum to see if all the data is there and correct.

    I still need to align the graphics of the frame and the map itself. Not sure what I want to do with the info panel. WIP at the moment.

    I also want to add more trees and need to style the ocean a bit.

    What do you think?

    Really dig it, Joshua!

    One thing that jumped right out at me when looking at it, zoomed in : It's Seguleh, not Segulah.

    And as I said on one of your other Malazan maps, the past tense in the text just feels kind of weird to me. I'd go "Genabackis IS a continent ...." etc. etc. .

    Thanks for your ongoing feedback Eilathen! It's been helpful.

    I hear you on the past tense. I want to embellish that whole info area. Once I add some more detail to the map, I will need a legend to highlight some areas on the map.

    By the way, I think I know how to make the Laederon Plateau work a little better.

    I think this is looking pretty nice! I really enjoy the overall style of the map (although I personally think a bit more textured font might work a tad better with it) and the colors look good.

    One thing that I noticed, there is a part at the western peninsula at the coast of Hudd Sea, where the color of you landmass stops before the coastline does!

    Thanks Kelerica! I will try a new font that looks more rugged. I used Crimson Text which is nice, but maybe not in all caps. Also, thanks for noticing the unmasked area in the top corner. The Genabackis title has a rough style, IM Fell.

    I've added a prototype style for the ocean. I will post below.

    Here is a version with a prototype Ocean. Still rough, but I wanted to check it out quickly. Will clean up on the subway on Monday. Also, the info box is still WIP.
