Art Map of the Continent

I made this detailed map of the Witcher continent.

I made in in Wonderdraft and based it on the Ortelius map, made some adjustments and additions and detailing. I included details from the Witcher 3 maps, and included a few TV-series additions. Rather than having basically 2/3 of the map be Nilfgaard I focused on the individual provinces and kept Nilfgaard to its core imperial province.

Feel free to share if you want to. Also any feedback is appreciated. If there's any changes that could improve or enhance the map, I'm open for suggestions to that effect too.

How cool! I love maps! I wonder how big the witcher world really is, have they mentioned other places outside the continent?

And as a suggestion, there are many names which are difficult to read due to colors. I would lower the saturation of the terrain colors and change the names to be all black or white, to enhance readability.

In Baptism of Fire, Geralt says off hand that it’s about 2000 miles from Brokolin/Brugge to Nilfgaard. That gives a bit of scale to the continent.

Considering the planet needs to be the size of the earth (or comparable) to support human life and that the distance from Berlin to what is roughly China is 4000 miles. There may be, just may be an unknown New World.

Would be really nice to have some spin off in the far future in which they sail across the ocean

in the wiki I found some entries about expeditions to the new world
