Welcome!
The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Hehehe, I like your backstory a lot
And yeah, makes sense to try and maintain some friendly relations when you're at the edge of the world. I'm imagining my country as quite rural, lots of wilderness, most cities being located on the coast of the gulf between yours and my country (probably settlers from J.Ed Land, who got independence a while ago), and the rest of the land inhabited by nomadic people herding mammoth-like beasts up and down the mountains. The tribes don't care too much about the city-folk's feuds and relations, but maybe mammoth cheese caused them to get drawn into the Fromage War?
