Description

Hey everyone! This is my first continent map. In my previous iteration, I cluttered it with way too many stamps (cities, towers, towns) and the world felt overpopulated.

For this version, I decided to remove all settlements and political markers to leave that discovery for the actual D&D roleplay. I wanted a purely geographical focus where the terrain is the main feature. However, looking at it now, I feel like something is missing to make it look complete or natural.

Any tips from experienced Inkarnate users on how to improve the geographical look?
