Description
This is the base for a series of historic maps. I may or may not be putting any of the work into that part of the project (this was done to facilitate someone else's projects). It may not look like much - I still need to add the rivers, and I'll be 'painting-in' color swatches for the hills, mountains, and forests (the reason for that very basic approach is because of the nature of the intent - those things have changed over time, and this will be used for a bunch of different periods). However, despite its very 'bare bones' look, it took a LOT of time - the scale is immense (and yet still much smaller than my main mapping project). I wanted as much detail as possible, and still be able to show a MUCH larger area than any previous FR map ever done. This is just a WIP (aren't they all?) - I will be adding all the rivers over the next few days, and then its on to the terrain textures. I'm not set on the color palette - I may want to change it up quite a bit from my usual colors. The beuty of the way I did this is that there are about 50 layers just in what you see here, bare as t is. That way, I can change anything on the fly (so much more work on the front-end, but much easier to work with as we proceed). I also noticed I missed one island chain - the 'Red Rocks' near Waterdeep. They'll be on the next update.
