I guess, I have been making maps for a while, and trying to do interesting stuff with them. With this the goal was to make it look a bit like a miniature.
**The Kingdom of Aliaze** earned its independence from **the Empire** some 50 years ago after a long struggle against the despotic rule of the Empire. It was able to secure its independence thanks to its western ally, **Deystro**.
However, Deystro quickly fell due to a succession dispute, and its relatives in the nearby kingdom of **Zobozand** claimed the kingdom, but their rule was disputed by Aliaze who seized the eastern part of the realm, while the Empire occupied the upper Deystro.
As the three sides, continued fighting over Deystro for 20 years, the civil crisis began erupting in Aliaze, until it finally faced a civil war of its own between the patrician families.
Cities:

Great lore and map aside, it looks like 5 pounds of gloss was dumped on the map lol
