Looks to have been made with Inkwell Ideas' Hexographer program.
I love that program. Good stuff.
That said, the scale is too close for my taste. There's supposed to be 450 miles between Neverwinter and Waterdeep in 5e (as opposed to the 250mi in 3e and 150mi in 4e). Just counting the hexes between the two on this map… Prince Narnode seems to have used the mileage scales from 3e, rather than the one included on the 5e map we all got as a Charity reward.
In addition, working at a larger scale in Hexographer would allow a lot more nuance, especially along those coastlines, which are solid colors here rather than slowly shifting into darker hues of blue.
Great effort though. I understand it's still a work in progress by Prince Narnode. My suggestion to him would be to use this map as a guideline for a larger revision. In that revision, he'll have room to phase slowly out to darker waters in the sea. Solid color for water doesn't look realistic in either the Sea of Fallen Stars nor the Sea of Swords.
Still, great, great effort.
