Our next featured creator enjoys making maps. Have you ever made a map?
I know I've shared this a few times, but I'm still proud of it.
This is my map of Cantre'r Gwaelod, the sunken Welsh Kingdom of Gwyddno Garanhir. The original legend describes a fertile land on the floor of Cardigan Bay that gained access to the sea through a great gate that could only be opened at low tide. Seithenyn the drunkard prince (and in some versions, Mererid the maid) was in charge of opening and closing the gates until he had one too many one day and forgot to close the gates and the kingdom was swept away by the sea.
The sea gates and Caer Wyddno are taken from the legend. The rest of the details for this map are my invention.
