That looks pretty interesting. Not too big a fan of all those red lines (the probably portray boundaries), really detracts from the map itself.
Is there more for this world? Or was that just a practice map back then?

Nice Tolkienesque style. I concur with Eilathen about the red border lines, it looks like you just sketched those in temporarily. I'd say a dotted, dashed or fine line would be better, those thick lines overwhelm the visual style.
Thanks for the replies. I don't know why I used the transparent red for borders but it isn't something I use now. This is part of a larger continent-size map that I've misplaced but is probably on an archive drive somewhere.
I didn’t have back story for the rest of the world, but this section was to be something akin to Renaissance Italy with Rodina filling-in for the Holy Roman Empire as the “big bad.” I’ll look for the other map.
While the borders could be more subdued, if this was intended primarily as a political map, their visual dominance would be appropriate. It is a bit odd that territorial claims don't seem to (effectively, at least) extend into lakes.
