I do realise that the notion of a "Menzoberranzan map" probably sounds just as "Troll guide to Cornish pixie dens". Yet I am in quest for it, as I have no fellow drow to share such a map with me. Nordock Underdark and the caverns below Waterdeep represent all of the drow lands I have visited in person, and these happen to be quite far off Menzoberranzan.
As a woeful apprentice DM on the major public NWN server in my minor country, I was assigned the task to broaden the world and Menzoberranzan was the first "good idea" to spring in my ironwood head. A long weekend alone with the Aurora Toolset teaching each other on various things (Aurora teaching me of dreamweaving, I - teaching her of my native curses) - and I ended up ready with the outskirts and a part of the city walls area. But that was where I had to stop, for I realised I lacked knowledge of the inner structure of the city.
Of course I can always make it up myself, following my own imagination, yet I would be honoured to follow a map, if such is present in the Candlekeep public library.

the menzo-boxed set has a four page map of the city w/ city districts if that helps you at all. |

Not even the Menzo-Box has a map THAT detailed; it lists the different important houses though, and the chapters on the various city parts include some shops and the like. |

That map looks a lot like the one found in the 3ed Underdark tome. Don't know if its anything like the one in homeland I dumped those books in the closet. |

Yeah....isn't that the map from the inside cover of Homeland?
Now...I've a much worse question...
Are there any detailed maps of Menzo running about - with say...store names, housing areas, district outlines, etc...?
If not, I'm drawing it up. End of story.  |

OK, time to settle it straight: If anyone has a digital image and the good will, do pass it around. A brief description of it in plain words will do, too.
I shall say this only once, hoping never to repeat it again: Any other form of help is appreciated, but it only reminds me of the fact that I live in an economically unstable country and have no form of online-operatible credit. I shall hardly ever get rid of the first fact and catch up to the second, at least in the ten years to follow. Thanks for giving an eye at this.

Actually, in the "Collectior's Edition Legacy of the Drow", there is a map of Menzoberranzan. While the map is pretty simple, it shows where the major locations such as where Sorcere and Narbondel are and gives you a pretty good impression of how the city is like. The map also shows several of the districts that were mentioned in the WotSQ series but not in RAS's own books.

Hymn:
"If you cant get a hold of the book" - that exactly is the point: I cannot, otherwise I would not have put the question here 
I have been gloating from afar at the cover image of the boxset you mentioned, and "from afar" means from my browser window.
Finding a link would mean I shall officially grant you the tittle of "Snoopier-than-thou!" Knight. Thank you in advance  |

Hmm, I know there should be some maps on this place either in the Menzoberranzan boxed set, or in the FRIA perhaps. The first I lent out and the second is being a bad computer program at the moment so I guess I leave this to some one else.
Note: I saw now that there is a sketchy and not very detailed map on it in the 3ed Underdark tome. But it is a map at least If you cant get a hold of the book, you can always take a peek at it in the local book store. I don't have a scanner so ..., or rather it won't work I guess is the correct term. But I shall see if I can find a link somewhere. |
