Aunturia Draft Map

Had this map lying around for ages, I finally cleaned it up today. Its subject to change, but this is the rough idea of how the Dread King world will appear. Most of it is still undiscovered and I'm unsure about what sort of scale I should use, I'm thinking the area covered is the size of western europe (more specifically, Portugal to Germany, perhaps more)

To the curious, I'll tell you about the locations/regions/cities/etc:

Eastlands:

Pontus - a warrior kingdom, governed by the strong. Borders were redefined when Pontus suddenly attacked neighbouring states, swallowing them up in a mad dash for power. After the first few invasions, others surrendered or joined willingly.

Tessia - known best as the Lake Country

Helvatia - *pending*

Kesreg - home to many knightly orders, the largest being the Knights Guinevere. They defend Forked Tongue Pass against the giant Anakim who would invade Midland. It is unknown whether they will fully side with Pontus against the west.

Atra - the southernmost province in the Borderlands, known as the Gateway. Its capital houses the largest bridge connecting the Borderlands to the rest of the world.

Grimhane - a bleak and vile territory that backs onto the Karvath wasteland, ruled by the nefarious Baron Nilphar.

Remlyn - home to a dour people who were displaced due to Pontesian conflicts.

Westands:

Orlando - a nation of merchants and romantic knights. They were the first to draw together those in the west to fight against the Pontesian onslaught.

Bethlian - a peaceful province home to farmers. Its also the home to the Holy Order of the White Stars, monster slayers who protect the people.

Aragon - a larger province who takes upon the duty of defending the west from Pontus. Aragoni knights are a common sight in any western town.

Albion - a nation of fisherman and boatpeople.

Elsewhere:

Karvath - a vast, brutal wasteland home to savage beasts and barbarian tribes. Many times has Pontus invaded the north to provoke the barbarians to attack south.

Shadowden - the barbarian capital, a huge ancient city built under an outcropping of rock, supported by massive pillars. It is unknown when this structure was built or how it was discovered, the barbarians say they've always been there.

Forgotten Wilds - the northern most region of the known world, a land covered with ice and snow. Its said that sub-human troglodytes roam the drifts.

Amarat - a desert that stretches far south, surrounded by mountains. It is home to the Anakim, terrifyingly tall dark skinned humans, who constantly attack the fortress at Forked Tongue Pass.

Shrine of Broken Wings - a temple built for the Fallen, Angels who have forgotten their duty and wish to redeem themselves as Gargoyles.
