    Wow! this is so detailed. You are putting vibe-code to genuine use.

    One doesn't simply vibe code into Mordor!(but seriously love this)

    I notice the map is the one from the movies (it shows the Orocarni a bit too close, but it's nice they appear on the map).

    Maybe when describing historical events you should also put the year (it is given only for some of them).

    Anyway, very nice work! I think it's appropriate especially for casual fans (especially movie fans) to delve (sorry) deeper into the lore.

    This is awesome! Can you make the zoom in and out smoother? I have to pinch every single time to get to the next zoom level instead of continuously zooming as I pinch.

    Mad respect; I've been working on building maps and it's a LOT harder than it might seem.

    Using a tile server for this feels hilarious
