I'm new to mapmaking, I'd like to make good ones. Any suggestions are gratefully accepted.

Westport is set in a pre-industrial post-apocalyptic world where wind and water drive the height of automation. Magic is more advanced than technology, but skilled practitioners are rare.

Almost one thousand years ago, a Conclave of Magicians unleashed a terrible curse of undirected self-propagating wild magic on the world. The majority of the population died as did everyone at the Conclave. Wild Magic continued to wreak havoc for years. Geologic features would suddenly change; weather variations were extreme and unpredictable. The long-term effects of The Day of Madness, as it came to be known, are still felt. However, many people are seeing grounds for optimism.

Westport has been established for approximately 150 years when the weather changed for the better. Storms no longer make the coast uninhabitable. People began believing they could live next to the sea and make a living from it. In the last 50 years, the population has increased by doubling, then doubling again, and again as trade joined fishing as a way to make a living.
