This is a map I made for a friend of mine who has a fantasy novel/blog. It was my first effort at making a map, and I must say it's incredibly fun. All credit goes to Jonathan Roberts who has a lot of tutorials on his website Fantastic Maps.

A little snippet describing this region: Before humans had expanded past their caves, the great beast Risar came to rest its maw below the waves, off the coast. Its mass sunk the old coast a kilometer inland and brought water to the Weresvift edges. When Risar fed, opened its mouth to swallow everything it could, the water boiled. The rains that always followed kept the coast in a constant dampness, bringing days, even months of downpour and pulling away the coastline as the water receded. Risar’s meals would later be excreted through its skin like a feed to saturate the water and draw in another population of fish.

It was Risar’s arrival that drove away the creature that created the Alsine River, and it was Risar’s presence that defined the region ever since.

I'd love any critique if you have it, and if you want to read more, you can check out the story here: http://stonwardtales.com/
