Hello,

Looking at this and the existing maps, I notice you separated the
continents where the others have a small strip of land connecting
them. Also, the rivers crossing almost the entire continent just north
of the strait don't quite make sense to me. If the brown is mountains,
that's an awfully steep land slope on the east side. Though the Andes
give South America a similar asymmetry, both for river length across
the continent and the opposite coastal slope. I would move the
mountain sources of the longest rivers farther north from the south end
of the range. Also, look at real rivers. Most don't branch from their
source to multiple outlets, they converge from multiple sources to a
single outlet. Most branching would only be at the coast where the
river has deposited sand, silt and dirt. For the mountains, consider
two main causes, two continental plates coming together, one or both
pushing up at their interface, or one plate buckling up farther inland
as it's pushed by the other. Then again, in a fantasy world, there
could be entirely different reasons for mountains.
