    Map The Gwentian-Mercian Border ---- My first map

    This is a Map I made for a Wolves of God(a tabletop RPG set in dark ages england) game I'm GMing. Its my first serious attempt at a map, and I had a good helping of assets from Mazlo-CG2A. The names are just a mix of Anglo Saxon, Welsh, and Roman appropriate for the time, but are mostly made up by putting two words together. I used paint.net primarily to create it. If you've got any tips/suggestions on how to improve I would greatly appreciate it. The map is meant to depict a river that serves as the border to the kingdoms of Gwent and Mercia as the campaign is going to center on a conflict in that area.

    Really interesting! The Anglo-Saxon period is a fascinating portion of history, although the actual evidence of settlements etc. is a bit more sparse than I would like. Setting a campaign in that sort of time period is a very interesting idea that I may end up using at a later date!

    The mountains/hills look amazing, did you use real-world heightmaps of some kind? Nice work!

    I used Mazlo-CG2A's Topographic mountain asset pack. It's just a bunch of shaded outlines of a mountain which you place on your map, then add some simple colours underneath with a Gaussian Blur, it comes out great! Here's the link to the pack if you're interested. https://www.cartographyassets.com/as...le-pack-2.300/
