Map of the Sword Coast

My version of a map of the Sword Coast in the year 1369 DR.
I had to change some places of the canon map to make them fit better to the map of Baldur's Gate 2.
The coat of arms of Tethyr shows a sea lion as described in the sourcebook "Lands of Intrigue". The coat of arms of Amn is based on an idea by Morywen, as daffodils are a sign of favour of the goddess Waukeen. Well, the symbols of the "Order of the Radiant Heart" and the "Shadow Thieves" are pretty self-explanatory.
Elturel's coat of arms is inspired by a badge of Beadle & Grimm: https://twitter.com/BeadleAndGrimms/status/1164925443486769153?s=20

The attention to detail in the coats of arms adds depth to the regions. It's an impressive work of art that captures the essence of the forgotten realms.
Well done.
