Atlas Elyden #83 - the Shadow March

Here's the latest entry for the Atlas Elyden, and this time It's another thematic map detailing the religious pilgrimage known as the Shadow March.

You can find an updated key to the map here.

You'll note that there is no PDF for Encyclopaedia entries as the Encyclopaedia Elyden is now available to all patrons to view - the post is stickied on my Patreon, and patrons at any tier (even as little as $1 month) have access to it. The PDF is a living document and will be updated monthly as I add content to it. You can find it here.

This was a difficult map to get done, mostly because I wanted to create the map before I had mapped roughly a third of the land depicted in it (the southwest). I actually began laying out the perspective of the map about 2 years ago with what parts of the world I had already mapped out, and I added all the labels and markers, ready for when I finally got the land ready.

I came round to it again recently, forcing myself to get the topography completed specifically so I could finally publish this map!

In finishing off the topography I realised that I wasn't happy with the perspective of the map, so I rotated the projection, which of course meant that I had to scrap the work done on the labels and markers and start from scratch...

I am pleased with this one. the blurb has been ready for many years now, though it has been updated periodically over time with new ideas and additions to the world, and the last update was made specifically for this map.  Now that this is done I intend in making a proper map detailing the tainted lands of Kharkhardontis, through which the worst part of the Shadow March passes, though that requires working on a LOT more topography, as shown in the map below.
