Map Details and Information
Erewhon Isles is another re-vamp of an alder map available here, that I've opened up in sc4tf and tinkered with. I used the compressor tool in sc4tf a number of times to raise/lower various levels of terrain, then went trough the smoothing process to give it a more weathered look. This map was transfered from a hand-drawn map I made many years ago for use with Dungeons & Dragons. These islands have a varied terrain that features a mountain range with peaks reaching nearly 6000 feet, high plateaus with steep cliffs, valleys, flatlands, a couple of rivers and lots of coastline.
