Fantasy Mapmaking Do's and Don'ts from Westeros

I'll be honest in this description -- this video is my opinion on the map of Westeros. Not a specific map in a specific style, but the foundational geography and layout of that fantasy world. What it has, and what it lacks: and how we can use it as a yardstick to develop and improve our own fantasy worlds and maps. Join me to talk about mapmaking do's and don't's.
