its all relative to what you want to do with the mountains. Take a look at the mountains in Hidden Duality: Director's Cut or more specifically Isle of the Winds, how I did mountains with small island space. Take those examples and see what you can work with.

drawing a rough sketch of the overworld and where things are generally going to go helps too. Sort of like, insert your main overworld set pieces into the quest first, and then work the rest of the overworld around them is one way to go about it.

Best advice I can offer, from writing experience, if your going to include an entire land, make it diverse, with many landforms and regions, but if you're cinfining it to a single region, make sure it is the same, but interesting to travel across. Like a forest with different types of trees, or maybe a darker, thicker forest in one part, or other things.
