Kingdom of Starlight - Map
It's a work in progress, but I'm pretty pleased with this so far. A little less pleased with some of the graphics--Inkarnate does offer a greater variety of symbols and designs to better fit both the aesthetic and actual needs of each map. But at a price I'm not willing to pay, so we're working off of the free stuff.
This is a portion of the whole map, which includes the Nightlands, Dawn (that green bit on the right), and the Burning Lands. Celeste is, obviously, the capital and home of the Celestial Palace. Rivertown sprang up around the same time as the Four Gates, followed by Laketown, followed by the Fifth Gate (the one in the Southeast), which was designed to help push back both Burning Land and Midnight invaders. Moondrop is the newest city, as the Moonlit Cities eventually stopped trying to attack Lucien and instead started trading with him, accessing his lands through the North Gate, which eventually caused a trading hub/town to spring up, which turned into a city.
The Queenswood was a gift from Lucien to Gioa, who I am making his wife and queen, the better to make her a foil against Brea's mother and step-mother. I'm also making her come from the West, 'cause why not.
Still gotta name those mountains--which is obviously where Cloudeaster's going to crash until Brea gets to them. Any ideas?

Wow this is awesome
Call them Fred. Jest aside, mountains are often named by some git who claimed they "discovered" them. Usually a surname; their own, or spouse's name, after a ruling monarch, etc. You could even use the word for mountains in the language of the native inhabitants of the mountains, or after an ancient (and forgotten) tribe/hero.
I don't know why but I'd propose Crimson Mountains or Fire Mountains.
"The Mountains of Selene" or "The Deepnight mountains"
