Introducing biomes

One year later, I have a bit more time to dedicate to the map. It may be subjective, but with only one color for all landmasses, the map was feeling a bit too plain.

Middle-earth is a vast continent composed of a multitude of geographical features, and I wanted to reflect this diversity in the map.

The new version of the map introduces distinct biomes, Eriador, Rhovanion, Harad, Rohan, Mordor and so on. Each biome has its own color palette, inspired by the original map but with a bit more saturation and contrast to make them visually distinct.

Looking at this screenshot, the map renders overall a bit too dark. It will surely be remedied soon.
