For a while now I have a basic grasp on small locations in my world, and on certain elements of global geography like the Twilight and it's surrounding Ice Ring, but nothing definite. So here's a map.

Eartea is a super continent, with a huge patch of islands spread out through a huge bay which it forms. The island are mostly home to men and elves, while the arm of the continent stretching southwards is home to men and dwarves. This is the Soutwyth.

The Norwyth is the third arm of Eartea, extending north away from the equator. A few outlying islands, as well as the huge northern delta, are inhabited by men, but most men are nomads moving between the valleys of the Norwyth. The elves live in the hills on the border of the Great Plain near the Ice Ring, and the dwarves live in the mountains and forests of the center of Norwyth.

Dragons inhabit the mountains of both continents in a fairly even distribution. They are noticeably absent from the islands of the North.

The Burning and Steam Seas are closest to the North and South Suns, respectively, and are nearly boiling at the axis points. The land of Eartea is significantly cooler than the sea, so winds are constantly present. Storms of power much more intense than our hurricanes hit the coast throughout colder months of year. The summer is more like our summers: warm, and stormy, but not particularly dangerous.

Redemption is to be purchased, to have a price paid. So I was redeemed from my master sin, and from justice, which demanded my death. For He paid the price of sin by becoming sin, and met the demands of justice by dying for us.

For all men have a master. But a man cannot have two masters. For he will love one and hate the other. You cannot serve God and sin. So I die to the old, as He died, and I am resurrected to the new, as He was resurrected.

Note: Ebed is Hebrew for bondsman, Eleutheros is Greek for unrestrained (not a slave).

It didn't turn out as large as I intended it, but I think it's very nice looking.

It looks very good. The coastline seems a bit smooth to me. (But if the map was intended to be drawn by people in your story...)

Smooth coastlines are a bad habit of mine.

My excuse is that smaller, regional maps will show more detail on the coasts than the large maps, which only show the really large parts of the landscape.

But I'm definitely going to work on the coastlines more.

It's really nice, Neil! :)

Drawing in a car over a basic outline does wonders for drawing coasts. ;)

Haha, me too! It's so laborious to draw all the ins and outs. :)
