Description

Drawn in Inkscape for my ongoing Western Empire map project and adapted from this excellent tutorial . I incorporated symbols of the Western Empire that are appearing elsewhere in the map both into and around the compass. This image will go in as a layer on the final map itself as if it was physically attached to the map (hence the elements that aren't directly attached). I went heavy on the gold because the Western Empire is filthy rich.

For the nitpickers out there, yes, I know that circles are usually marked in 120 degree increments. Well, the Western Empire's degrees are three times as wide, because they care less about precision navigation than they do about looking fabulous and conquering the world.
