This is beautiful beyond belief! A stunning work! The classical colour scheme (green for lowlands, brown for higher altitudes) is actually the one used in Ukrainian school atlases (e.g., this one ). Even though it's a vector image, you managed to capture a lot of details, and the shapes are quite close to the original (deformed by the projection, I suppose?).  But why is the Isle of Quel'Danas positioned to the north-east of Quel'Thalas? And isn't Silvermoon supposed to lay on the coast?

I'm also interested in where they will put the Broken Isles. I would go with the area east to Azshara simply due to WC3: TFT. I wonder though how they will find room between the continents and Maelstrom. And they can't make them too small on the world map simply because the Isles shouldn't be perceived as small.

Well Im glad you like the map, thanks. The positioning of Quel'Danas, as other islands, is due to the scaling of the map, to make it not look bigger and more natural (i.e. to erase the WoW scaling). 

I think they have determined the location of Broken Isles to be to the west of Lordaeron.

The newest world map from Legion Alpha is out! So you got the positioning right.

By the way, Wintergrasp is supposed to be a lake. Old Northrend maps portray it as such.

We'll see about that Although I am curious as to how they'll make the broken isles appear.
