What kind of advice, specifically, do you need? Or is it examples you are searching for? The world I presently use for my own games, Behemoth, has so far a single area fully described, roughly the size of Spain. I found that keeping with continuity doesn't require to work from the top down. You can add continuity as you had things and modify the big picture (i.e. all that the players aren't in direct contact with) as you go. I have theories on the cosmology, what the rest of the world involves and looks like, how it basically works, but when I present these ideas to the players, this is always through the mouth of an NPC, and no character in the game can be absolutely sure of the way the world works. Plane travellers for instance are rare, but they are talking of the Nine and the Abyss. Does this mean that's how demons and devils are positively? Nobody can be really sure. As for the map, there seems to be something missing in the middle of it. It reminds me strongly of Earth of course. Maybe this "Atlantic" zone in the middle could use an Atlantis of some sort? It's really hard to go further than this without basic ideas of how you see the geology of your world and more importantly the scale of the map. Could this be added to the picture?PS: just noticed your scale post scriptum. If one of these islands if roughly as big as the UK, then the feel I get from it is wrong. It makes me think of a much larger area, world-sized to be exact. I think that is partially the lack of smaller features, the contrast between big land masses and tiny ones that makes me feel this way. So adding some medium features and archipelagos could do the trick. The coast lines seems too smooth too. More variations/rough coastlines would change the sense of scale. It's hard to be constructive without a feel of the geographical features (mountain ranges and rivers, particularly) you want to include on this map.</blockquote>
