Description
map #5 in the Atlas Elyden . This one covers a much larger expanse of land than the others so far and took longer to finish, largely due to the topography, and it has quite a few labels, though even looking at it now I can see there's room for more

(the pale square in the top left corner will accomodate an inset map of the capital city, once it's done (as it's taking a bit longer than I thought it would )

C&C are more than welcome, and remember, you can follow my patreon for high-res maps, textless maps, more details on the world and other exclusive content , thanks

A key/legend to the map can be found here

The Republic of Almagest has a long history: as an independent land of astronomers and scholars based around the coast of what is now known as the Strait of Almagest; as a territory of the Korachani Empire (under the control of which it spent most of its history, prospering as an industrial centre); and as an independent region freed of its imperial shackles since 3014 RM, after a long period of civil strife with the Motherland. Almagest remains a powerhouse of industry, though waning lands have left its many large cities without food. The capital, Almagest, was once the largest urban area in Elyden, with no less than 6-million bodies calling it home. What remains of that is now a greatly diminished city where starvation and disease run rife. Press-gangers recruit desperate people with promises of glory in the army. The reality is quite different, and most who join up trade one form of hunger and uncertainty for another

Please let me know what you think in the comments, as I'm always open to input.

EDIT - I updated the main image, changing the hue/saturation to make the colours pop a bit more, and changing the mask around the nation to make it paler, as well as updating some geographical details to match withthe more recent maps in the collection
