Description
The land of Corthennion, from my historical fantasy setting project.

Corthennion (That is, "Land of Mists" or "Shrouded Land") is a peninsula region of western Eriath. It is home to four distinct realms: Ardonniand, Buchainnend, Leithany and Fiannon.

I am more or less happy with this map: my major nitpick would easily be the relief depiction. Those rough brown blobs are mountains and hills, in case you couldn't tell. For the longest time I've been searching for an efficient way to make realistic relief depiction for my maps; similar to the ones found in those topographic maps on Wikipedia. Although I do have a decent idea about how this can be achieved, with the current tools and software available to me the process is prohibitively long and difficult; and unsuitable for creating a large variety of uniform maps.
I hope from viewing this you do get a good idea about what I was aiming for, however.

I'll add a legend, compass, title, border, etc, in good time.
