Kinda curious though, can you actually fit the rest of Azeroth onto the map given the size of your Northrend?
This is exactly what I was thinking. I was trying to remake a 192X192 map from warcraft 3 just to realize that a 256x256 map is actually SMALLER in starcraft 2 than a 192 x 224 map was on Warcraft 3. I've tested it and a WC3 unit can run from one corner to the other in a 256 x 256 map in SC2 a little faster than the same WC3 unit can run across a 192x192 map. As a consequence, I found that i had to completely remake my map so it didn't resemble the warcraft 3 map because I simply ran out of room.
Good luck with your map though, I hope it turns out well. One thing I found helped (after i found about the size requirement) was to do a very rough cliff sketch of the individual areas so I had a better sense of the proportion I wanted each area to be. All the best to you, I enjoyed Azeroth Wars, but the map will be tough to remake and I hope you find help.
