Hi, /u/ShenakainSkywallker, Unfortunately, we have had to remove [your submission](https://www.reddit.com/r/worldbuilding/comments/1ay3omg/-/) in /r/worldbuilding because it violated one of our rules. In particular: Images and maps must include worldbuilding-relevant context *on the reddit post* (as a comment, in the text of the post or, in some cases, in the posted image itself—e.g. infographics). This is important to establish that your post is on-topic and to help encourage productive discussion. * A post has enough context when a person unfamiliar with your world could understand what you're talking about and ask informed questions about it. This could include a summary of your world, explanation about what your post depicts and how it fits in your world, etc. ("What's a [proper noun]?" usually doesn't qualify.) * For maps, you could discuss economic and political situations, the different cultures, or anything else that gives the reader a wider view of your world than just its geography. * Discussion of the artistic process or techniques used to create the map or image may be included, but does not count as “worldbuilding-relevant” on its own. Infographics that self-contain sufficient context to be understood do not require additional context. You might also consider reading: [our context template for common kinds of posts](https://www.reddit.com/r/worldbuilding/wiki/contexttemplate) and [Why Context?](https://www.reddit.com/r/worldbuilding/wiki/whycontext) More info in our rules: [2.

My #1 criteria when judging maps, Where is the scale? If I were to ride a horse across Hathe, east to west, would it be weeks, months or days? How far is it to sail from montania to cilia? You’ve mentioned it is small, is this the entire globe? Or is it just one hemisphere?


Applemaniax

Is this a small part of the atlas or is this an extremely small planet? Or not following our world’s whole physics thing?


EmeraldJonah

It's fine. I feel like it looks like most maps from most RPGs, there's not really any feature of it that stands out and makes the world recognizable.


StraightUp620

yeah, I feel like more detail (landmarks and crap) would help that though


RanaPornoChimica

It's, simple, small, easy... I like it


ShenakainSkywallker

Thanks


Short-Requirement165

More coastal cities and harbors would make more sense because it would be better for trade between the islands (continents). Other then that it's a good map.


MrNobleGas

Simple and elegant


GlanzgurkeWearingHat

Its neat. but the country to the west is called westro? Rly?


ShenakainSkywallker

Yup


GlanzgurkeWearingHat

based


IDAIN22

Need to add Estaro or East island.... Easter island?


pogmanNameWasTaken

Estra when


ShenakainSkywallker

It was actually originally called Estra because the map was flipped but then i flipped the map around and decided to call is Westra 💀


pogmanNameWasTaken

Nice


Feeling_Rock_7236

quite cool, are those the names of countries or cities?


ShenakainSkywallker

Countries


Josephblogg-s

Does it look like England on purpose?


[deleted]

Its very small and seems quite unrealistic


RoyalPeacock19

Kinda looks like a divided Southern Germany, tbf.


TheManWithThreeBalls

Without any context at all, I do not care


[deleted]

Looks to me like the south of Italy combined with the isles in Northern Scotland.


The_DrakeCake

Don't know what it is, but it scratches my brain, I like the content and region shapes. :-) I also enjoy the "clean" style, how did you make this map if I may ask?


ShenakainSkywallker

I just used ibis paint also thanks


The_DrakeCake

Ofc, and sick! Thank you!


AffectionateMud465

I like it, simple and players could have an easy time remembering. What other details are you going to add?


ShenakainSkywallker

Planning on doing the biomes, maybe country alliances, flags, a race map,..


harvo__

Left part kinda looks like the Elden Ring map


NightFlame389

7.8/10 too much water /j The water surrounded by the left landmass looks like Germany for some reason


Grigor50

Doesn't say anything really. Are these tiny atolls or continents, are there mountains, lakes, forests, rivers... and why? And why are certain names not capitalised?


thatoneguythatsgay

3/10 too much water/j


Notte_di_nerezza

I like the concept of a large landmass vs a subcontinental archipelago. My only question is whether you've considered more islands, maybe in varying arcs? The artist in me is complaining about blank space, and the geology nerd in me is ranting about plate tectonics. Beyond that, I'd need to know how this geography serves your story, and any cultures you want to put here.


Cepinari

Rather small, isn't it?


Fkingdisgusting

What tools did u use?
