Map of Valinor

It took me about 4 hours of checking through the Silmarillion and the book of lost tales to find the information on places.

The only one that I'm still unsure about is Lórien:

-I found nothing in the Silmarillion relative to its position on the map

-the book of lost tales says it's "south of the mountain of Aman" and coming "near the roots of Telperion" but doesn't exactly say if it's north or south of Telperion, so I put it where I thought it was best suited, meaning I'm probably wrong and it's probably just south of Namo's halls. 😭

I mean "south of the mountain of Aman" might also mean on the Avarthar far south, but I figured Irmo and Estë deserved better than to keep company with Ungoliant... >.>

Oh, I love maps and so happy that you've made one of Aman! I like all your details you've drawn in!

I really like how you set everything up, particularly with using the mountain range/hills(?) as a fencing method. I had always kind of pictured Aman to look roughly like this, so the placement of everything is very exciting to see, as well as how you spaced the proportions of each area to the whole.
