Description Some info about the map etc.

Since last summer, I've been working on a book. (Planning for it to be several books, actually).
I've named the book "Tears of the Sun".

I'm influenced by the gigantic shining star that is, was and will always be; Robert Jordan...
And some other stars like Paolini and Naomi Novik.

And now to the map:
This is an incomplete map of the world in which my story takes place. There's another continent far to the right the size of America (and I do mean America... not just the 'USA' part...)

But anyways, the gigantic Desert known "Sul'Machin" was actually created by a gigantic experimental failure by some idiotic magician some 2500 years before the story takes place. That roughly sums up why a desert is placed so far north.

The original image is 4831x3515 px, so I chose to upload it as 1600 px wide for your convenience.

And oh, the map is far, far from being complete
Hope ya'll like it!

Bordern är en riktigt grym detalj till den här, har du verkligen bara använt paint till att göra den?

what did you use to make the map? did you draw it out on the computer or did you have a program?

Their is a software called : compaign cartographer (actually the 3) which can be good for you if you don't want to draw but it's a little bit expensive but take a look at it if you are curious .
