Map of Rune and Milian

Description

//EDIT// 9-8-17// This map is, as maps tend to become, now out of date. I have to update it with new territories, the other continents, and a change in size :D //

I AM PROUD OF MYSELF...because this is the first time I've ever drawn a map and I did it all by myself! xD It's not perfect, but I really like it, so I guess that's what really counts xD

This is the world of my steampunk elves. If you've watched me for a good while (first of all, THANK YOU<3) you've probably heard me talking about a steampunk elf story at least once or twice somewhere, whether in a journal, or from another post. I've been working on this story (that doesn't even have an official name yet) for 5-6ish years now.. which is AMAZING for me, considering I jump ship on so many projects so quickly all the time. u3u
Anyway, I finally got this world to have coherent and logical lore that makes some sort of sense (at least to me, so far xD). I have my elven races sorted out, and their backgrounds. I just need to make sheets for them and post them. Then I can work on the characters and the plot holes I still have in the story. Of course... by the time I get that far, it'll probably be in 5-10 years, but that's alright.. as long as I stick with it xD

ANYWAY~~~~~~~~~~
This is the two main continents in their world, Rune and Milian, on the planet Soren. Most of Milian is still uninhabited, so it's not featured on this particular map.
Soren is sort of like Earth in laws of gravity and air and whatnot...basically, if we humans couldn't live on plaent Earth, Soren would be a great alternative (not that that means it's an alt. earth though). There are four main groups of elf races: Afari, Lunari, Dokari, and Vulpelves. And there are four major territories: Fergavia (green), Windchestiq Woods (orange), Gravroq(red) and Abalonia (brown). The main characters of my story are Afari elves, and I don't plan to go in depth with all the elf races in the story, but I do have characters from the other races and scenes happen where these races live.

I'm not going to explain a great deal about them right now, in this description, but I will say what cities/territories they each live in. 
:bulletpurple: Afari elves mostly live in the woods, in the Kingdom of Fergavia, the largest city on the continent of Rune with a large wall surrounding it. Most Afari don't get out much and they tend to stay in their family homes for generations.

:bulletblue: Lunari elves mostly live in Abalonia, and while it may look like a small territory, it isn't. They live more on the water than they do the land, so there are cityboats all around the coast. They venture futher out into the waters, and everything within the red lines surrounding the city is their territory.

:bulletred: Dokari elves(a missing civilization at the time of my story) created and live in underground cities in the Gravroq Tunnels

:bulletgreen: Lastly, the Vulpelves live in the Windchestiq Woods of Milian. They used to live in Rune, specifically, Feeder's Field and the Creeping Forest, but migrated because [redacted]. :P

Some Lunari and Vulpelves also live in Fergavia, and some Afari live in Abalonia. Unfortunately, outside the cities of Rune, it's a nightmare to live (because...reasons :P), so the Gravroq Tunnels have been extended (the Dokari no longer live there, no one has seen them for generations) and now go underneath every city/kingdom...of course the tunnels close to Fergavia are guarded intently. So you either must travel through the tunnels, on a boat, OR by air on an airship.


So yeah... that's all I'm gonna say for now. I really want to develop this thing. If not for my own pleasure, at least to use for my school assignment in character development xD Also I tried my best to use worlds like "lagoon" and "cove" correctly, considering they are all specific types of geographical phenomenon. Hopefully I did that right. I also didn't put the points in the right place all the time (ie, the black and white bulletpoint where it says Market City, is NOT actually in the spot where Market City actually is)...but it's a minor thing.
