Hi! I cannot draw very well, but I have an idea for a map!
You can divide the map into 6 islands, 5 small islands for each of the elements and 1 main one for gold.

The gold island can be the big one located in the north, they are like the gods of the realm.

Life and death and opposite each other (one on the left and one on the right just under the gold island), being like good vs bad. Earth and fire are under life and death respectively as they're quite similar (earth = life, fire = death). This leaves water, a master of somewhat both of those elements (bringing life to earth and death to fire) so it gets its own special spot on the bottom of the map.

Around each island can be features of the respective element, for example dark water and dead fish around death. Clean water and bird around life. Trees in the water/mud around earth and molten lava around fire. Of course, there's water around water. Perhaps make the water island under water if that makes sense! The middle of the map can have some epic whirlwind thing where the elements all clash.

Hope you guys like this idea @aggroed and @yabapmatt
