Description This is Koleo/Asodreus III done. The continents were based off of a map that I drew for a story and a conlang world a long time ago, and I though it would be perfect to use for the main world in my conworld (my entire conworld series is either called DPC or NeoDaypoint).

This is Koleo's "nearside", i.e the one that faces Asodreus. There is a "farside" as well, and if you lived on that continent you wouldn't know you were living on a moon, as Asodreus is not visible from that side. 

The original DPC map only covered about ~55-60% of an equirectangular projection, so I used that for the nearside while drawing up a completely new continent for the farside.

I really like how this one turned out, as it really benefited from me bumping the resolution from 4K (as in Argolea) to 9K.

Aha ! Face-locked !!

Is there significant tidal stirring, or has that mostly worn off ?

I'm working on 'Erewhon', hypothetical face-locked mega-moon of real tau Ceti 'f', a sub-neptunian. It's on the cooler edge of habitable zone, so volcanic activity, hot springs etc are important...

No - Koleo does not experience significant effects from tidal locking.

Oooh, Tau Ceti f I hear? Interesting, interesting. Yeah tau ceti f is definitely chilly, i would prefer a tidally squeezed moon (:
Good luck on designing the moon!

Also I have updated Koleo to make it look more realistic here: Koleo v2 Nearside
