Currently working on Chapter 17 . My tentative plan is to wrap the story up by Chapter 20 but it isn't a hard cap. It depends on upon how the story progresses. It's funny how fluid my idea are. The details of my story have changed a lot from my original intentions despite the stories direction remaining the same.

Just out of curiousity -- are you working with an outline?

Constantly changing the story so late into the game seems like it'd be a bit of a headache.

I've had an outline for sometime. The major events are hard points. How I get to those hard points are not.

18 Chapters 91619 words and counting. Think I should be done in two chapters. Just don't know when I'll get those two written.

I slightly updated the map in the OP. Added some city locations. Tried to clean up some of the lines in MS Paint....looks sloppy up close but okay at a distance as for the book itself. About 40% into Chapter 24. 119,898 words.

I've made numerous changes to my map design to improve readability and also to shrank a land mass in the central ocean to better suit the lore of my book. I've left up the last revision and posted the new one below it.
