how do I make a good map? (lemmy.ml)

Trying to run a DND campaign for the first time but I don't know anything about map making, geography, or geology. I want the physical features of the land to mostly make sense from a geological perspective and then conform the borders of my city-states and empire to their natural geographic constraints. How do I even begin with this?

Behold, the fantastical realm of Zelandus

About half the maps of Zelandus don't even have Zelandus on them because of the damn Mercator Projection (the primary antagonist of this world).

just move them independently a little too and you're set.

if you need even more obscuring you can use higher sea level projections or estimates from the last ice age where they'd be connected
