    *chuckle!* Not sure how you intended it, but I took each symbol as representative of a different being that worships Mother Istara, with each race having common symbols. Since most dragons worship Drulkar instead of Istara, it is adorable to me to see the dragon head as the odd dragon turning to Istara instead.

    Thank you for sharing the whimsy! :-)

    I also found the use of the anvil and shield symbols interesting, Awdz. So, it seems warriors and crafters are represented here as well.

    Overall, a very intriguing work of art, Gengel!

    This was my weak attempt at something abstract. I was trying to use my recently-learned haze/fog skills but I think I failed. The map drove me crazy. I soon learned that height-maps have nothing to do with color

    What was my intent? Lack of sanity is hard to explain but I was trying to add symbols that might represent the various "ways-of-life" that the Mother might oversee in the Lands. You will see a sword and shield for the adventurers. There is a trowel, siphon, sledge for the crafters. The Sun/Moon were meant to represent the magicka of the land but probably does not work.

    And finally... there is a Dryad tree to represent....

    Nature, connection to the Prime....

    Any coincidence to Dragon icon being placed over the Eastern Deadlands is purely coincidental
