Didn't like the results, gave up, trashed it.

Very nice work!!
Are those tiny crinkles artefacts from the hfs?

Since you begged...
#declare Text1 =
function {
pigment {
image_map {
png "Chronicles-of-Ziklag.png"
map_type 0
interpolate 2
} // image_map
}
}
#declare Text2 =
function {
pigment {
image_map {
png "Chronicles-of-Ziklag-Blur.png"
map_type 0
interpolate 2
} // image_map
}
}
#declare T3 =
function {
Text1(x,y,z).hf*.85 + Text2(x,y,z).hf*.15
}
#declare CZ =
height_field {
function 4800, 1600 {
T3(x,y,z)
}
water_level .25
smooth
hollow
}

Indeed. They are quite visible when rendered at higher resolutions, but
at this size it doesn't look too bad.

I think it's pretty cool. I've always wondered about a good way to do beveled

btw I checked out your website... cool stuff :)
