The Pacific is in the middle of maps here too. Japan is right in the middle.

A map I drew a few years ago, crossposted from my thread. I do find Anarós funny—"Oh, I should include a fen.... let's put one up here!" Also Namó Ablés, which is both improbable in location and lacking in any outlet. I definitely did a better job with Talócár.

I welcome other criticism, by the way.

Also, your "forest of trees" looked a lot like an ocean inlet given its dark coloration before I read the label and realized that the improbable sea was just north of it.

Nessari had the same problem :)

Not exactly; I recognized that the two were separate areas right from the start, that much is obvious. But I did think the forests were bodies of water, yes.

Yeah, that is also quite a pain. I always seem to run into the problem of them getting too big because my hand gets tired of drawing tightly or something.

Well played. Although, quite to the contrary, I think even Anguipes would not enjoy drawing several hundred small ↟'s when she could be drawing large elegant ones.

How would this forum function if there wasn't always someone around to post nothing but a pronoun correction?
