DETAIL-----how much detail?

I assume you have good ref.....like a map with contours?

Then I favour taking your original spline and extruding it a few times.

Take your rotoscope and match contours to say 1,000m

Then when you need peaks, stick in some hills and join with 5 point patches

Then finally stick on some material for the hills, add sea,sky and some human interest.........

 

and bake(sorry render) for 4 mins or so.

 

hope this is some help

[Sword]

Good Start,

May I suggest:-

The sword should widen slightly as it gets down to the tang (the bit inside the handle)- the principle use of this type of sword was rather like a long chopper.

Later medieval swords such as the rapier or epee had devices designed to trap and snap your opponents blade, so your guard is accurate- but would have faced the other way for practical fighting, and would only be of use against thin blades. The pomel on a sword helps to counterbalance the weight of the blade, so was often a large heavy lump of metal. Often the grip was made of thin leather wound spiraly round a wooden grip or of fine silver wire which gave better grip when wet and sticky- uch.
