Fantasy Environment - Tumblr Posts

More D&D "maps". Some sessions ago, the guys in my long-running campaign saved a count's life and was rewarded with an old border fortress. Probably not cursed.

So I’m making a fantasy map thing bc I feel like it, but I’m realizing that I’m really clueless when it comes to geography and cartography and such. I figured that tumblr would probably have people who knew an unreasonable amount about map making and how environments work, so here we are.

Normal (?) map with a little key

Topographic(?) map, lighter colors are higher altitudes and darker colors are lower altitudes. Nothing quantified yet, mostly just vibes.

And a little of both. It’s not stylized or anything, just putting ideas into something I can see.
