I'm now determining scale.  As a specific point to look at, I'd like the Green Desert to take -at least- four days to cross by horse, assuming sufficient water is brought along.  Horses vary in distance they can travel in a day, but average at 40 miles.  That means the desert must be at least 160 miles deep.  To even it up, I think it'll be convenient to make it 200 miles deep, making each square 50 miles.This means that the Shadowed moor is 450 miles from the Lowly Peaks to the Silgrey Range... not shabby.  I think that'll work.</blockquote>
