Description
This ornate map shows the world of Taesawesh with all its major cities and rivers. Equally noteworthy are the images of the Taesaweshi deities and the religious writings that surround the map.Biggest piece so far. It's the map of a worldbuilding project I've been musing about for at least a year.
I worked on this tirelessly over the past few days. I spent an eternity researching Mesopotamian and ancient Egyptian art, but the most time-consuming part was definitely creating the script and the language. First conlang!
This is the sister piece to this map of Borczeg:

Best to include a glossary of the letters, lest future generations struggle with it, as people do with the Beale manuscripts, the Voynich manuscript, and various fantasy novels written in an undecipherable code.

So I'm guessing the script is a derivation of the ancient Phoenician script?
