The white parts you filled in were ice covered lands. Also, that looks interesting.

So, the map is assuming that settlers from the "Old World" settle Talamor and Ozara?
I would rather have assumed that Old World peoples from Talamor/Ozara settled Rhodin, Avarda and the area west of the Thule Sea.
The 3/4 options were, iirc, Rhodin, Western Ozara, Eastern Ozara, Equatoria.
I can't find a post deciding which it was. A couple of arguments were made for Eastern Ozara, and one map by someone assuming Rhodin, but that's it really.
Now that the (modern) climate images have been finished, Eastern Ozara seems to fit the best due to its similarity to OTL Eastern Africa. To me anyway.
Keep up the work, Frank!I may need to borrow these brilliant maps for a little project I'm working on.
Would this be OK if I provided credit for the base?

To be honest, it's not that little a project; its massive actually.
It's for a hard(ish) sci-fi setting I've been working on continuously for years now. I have a background in palaeontology, so it's always annoyed me that there are basically no alien planet base-maps out there that take account of plate tectonics and palaeogeography. Long story short, Tellurus'll (with a few minor tweaks and a new name) end up as the homeworld for an alien species I've been meaning to flesh out for a while. With a mostly free Christmas, I was planning on designing a detailed history for them from the ground up, but I just wanted permission to mess with the map a little first.
