Nice maps, I like the passport/gate thing. We could use another lev 1-10 area, which it seems to be... That area is very sparse anyway, I vote we add Lorak and Valdor.
The mud couple is a nice touch, btw
Only one note, I think you can sneak in without crossing a single mountain...
P.S. Could the altar in the chapel be to Valriel, it is more apropos than a money altar...
