I like the look of the very top-middle, the woods by the Ilderon Trail, Ruins of Naughlaron and the Naringlahris Plateau. Does the woods extend up further north?
Did you have any particular ideas for that area (Naughlaron Territory)?
What race is best for development generally... I'd like to lean towards humans or halflings if possible.
I think it would be much better to get involved in a well established area now I come to think, as would give good guidance of local cultures etc (which of course interact with each other, either growing closer or rubbing).
Looks good anyways
