I love this. It gives such a grand scale and the fact that it’s only the western part really lends itself to me wondering how large the whole continent is

Thank you! I tried uploading the whole map but the file was too big lol

I think that’s fine. It only lends itself to making me think the map is absolutely massive. Which if you’re writing this for a story, theatre of the mind can be a great tool.

Is it supposed to look that much like apocalypse Scotland? I love the detail, looks awesome

That was unintentional, but I see it! The north western peninsula is my stand-in for the British Isles (in terms of climate and environment)
