    All are really good just different, if I have to pick favorite, #3 the High Low variant.

    It is quite interesting isn't it, looking at the different versions side by side. I like the sun breaking through on the darker version.

    Agreed, it does have that effect, though I think adding a darker part will make it pop more alongside it.

    True true, each have something. I am thinking of going fully combined, plus number 3 as well.

    Okay! So after long thinking about it. It's going to be a combination of all the 3 major versions.

    Dark, sunbreak, and normal.

    Blended the versions, blended the border text better. Added the "Boneyard" east of Rots'oord. Added the "Hauntlight Spires" North West of Veilwatch.

    Let me know what you all think about the new combined version.

    I think it looks great! My only comment is that some of the small labels (e.g. giant's foot) are quite hard to see. Perhaps make them have a more contrasting color.

    Tx. Hahaha, yeah, I forgot to change that one. As for the other small labels, it is a deliberate choice to make them less noticeable. I don't want this specific map to be marred down by too much text, stuff outside of the map.
