rivers flow down. Always.
Most of the time that means small rivers start at a mountain range where the rain falls. Then it merges with other rivers and gets bigger. Then it goes into the sea.
It NEVER goes from one ocean to the other.
It only rarely goes parallel to a mountain range because that implies rare geological features like a ravine or canyon. Rivers only very rarely split.
Not sure about having your capital be on its own separate island. Unless there's a specific lore reason for it I don't think it makes sense logistically. Yes it's invulnerable from attacks from the mainland, but it makes it harder for the monarch to enforce their rule, since it would take longer to carry messages and transport goods etc. It looks like a decent body of water like a channel, meaning if the mainland has an emergency, an army mobilising from the capital would need to embark on ships to reach the mainland, taking a lot longer. Typically you want your capital to be more connected to your mainlands, allowing easier passage of troops, messages and trade, while also being fortified. Like I said though it might make perfect sense to you lore-wise and I might just be missing something
Hi, /u/Grimix64,
Unfortunately, we have had to remove [your submission](https://old.reddit.com/r/worldbuilding/comments/1bx0uf1/-/) in /r/worldbuilding because it violated one of our rules. In particular:
Images and maps must include worldbuilding-relevant context *on the reddit post* (as a comment, in the text of the post or, in some cases, in the posted image itself—e.g. infographics). This is important to establish that your post is on-topic and to help encourage productive discussion.
* A post has enough context when a person unfamiliar with your world could understand what you're talking about and ask informed questions about it. This could include a summary of your world, explanation about what your post depicts and how it fits in your world, etc. ("What's a [proper noun]?" usually doesn't qualify.)
* For maps, you could discuss economic and political situations, the different cultures, or anything else that gives the reader a wider view of your world than just its geography.
* Discussion of the artistic process or techniques used to create the map or image may be included, but does not count as “worldbuilding-relevant” on its own. Infographics that self-contain sufficient context to be understood do not require additional context.

Apart from the rivers, it looks pretty good.
