This map was my submission for the April 2022 mapping challenge, where it won a gold compass in a tie, on the theme of Water. Dau is the Ekaeli word for water and the name of a significant city set by a waterfall leading towards Lake Riana and the sea. A rare piece of personal worldbuilding for me. I decided to repost it here in the finished maps section because I'm still fond of this weird region map which showcases the roads and topography in the area my protagonist, Saerin, lives. She's significantly influenced the settlement in the area. I labelled it both in English and in Ekaeli, not a direct cipher but actually in the conlang.
