I noticed that many of you have had problems to read my map.
Covewood Mountains are actually Touchwood Mountains :).
I think changing this name back isn't difficult job, is it?
And some other names:
Eldhelomin - Edhelomin
Dalondon - Dalondor
Epthael - Epthel
Mountains of Umalin - Umulin
There is also that huge volcano Growling Maw in Tragothar

and Eleril, your document about Touchwood
Mountains is good, I think most of it is usable, but it
misses one main point: Thalamon has a deal with Dardalon to
mine minerals from Touchwood Mountains. I actually mentioned
it in my finnish text, but it might have been forgotten. I think that
those points where each animal exist are too detailed and
there is now need to some mining points, I will remove some
"animal-spots" or maybe we should use another technique. Let's
use prevalencemaps, which means that each region is divided
to several areas and one area contains several species. I.e.
the Tsiukadiu-Kingdom
prevalencearea 1 - carnivores - boars, wolves etc.
prevalencearea 2 - birds - hawks, eagles etc.
And that castle that is located at the base of Touchwood mountains
was actually meant to be fortress where dardalonian people could
watch over that pass which leads to Thalamon. But it's okay if there
is also that wizardcastle somewhere.

And my design-tasks atm:

Great Kingdom of Thalamon:
Parcithia, Delgrain, Talaas and Tarac
Borders are:
west - Chain of Edhelomin, mountains around Crater Lake (lake itself doesn't
belong
to Thalamon), Chain of Sledgehammer
south - Swamp of Pelnor
east - Touchwood mountains, then Castle Eldahar and most of the Lokhmar lake
(not the
easternmost part of it), then bit of the groaning forest and Swordgate Castle
north - Tacit forest (officially half of that forest belongs to Thalamon, half
to icefolk)

Dardalon (not so urgent)

Drawings (the Nine Horsemen, not so urgent)

ps. Beregar, we have to look Thalamon-text through, if it was translated by you.
      More mail coming on Monday
