The fan maps have errors. The best map is in my head. I have an overview map of Impiltur, city maps for Lyrabar, Hlammach, Dilpur, Sarshel and Ilmwatch. Next on the list are regional maps for the Easting Coast, the Uplands and the Farwater.

Thanks for the answer George!
What is the best way to capture that knowledge then? Flood you with questions? :)
I would love to see your map of Dilpur as my PCs recently left the city after a few sessions there (i ruled it a small city in 1373 DR mainly due to the move of people from Sarshel). I made my own map. They chose Filur over Songhal for their current subquest but their main task will see them visiting Lyrabar and then on to Tsurlagol for the finale of the current Act so to speak. But it pained me on how to place Outentown, Filur, Songhal, Tower Torfell et all on the map.
PS. One of the main antagonists in my campaign is an evil secretive order who is not afraid to utilise non-humans for their activities - they have already sent dopplegangers against the PCs - so I am not against using the dopplegangers to read your mind to ease gleaning the precious to me knowldge ;) |

Oh boy do I??? :)
Ok I don't want to impose; and as this is a campaign running for a while I am not really going to go change many things I have already made.
So here are some things that are currently in my mind:
a) Heleggar and Menedrar Forgecrown. The travelling Royal Herald and the Whitesword Warguntlet. Is there a story behind their family name and are they related in your mind? My PCs had spent some time traveling with Heleggar and Wyaun as they made their way in the Farwater to Illmwatch and north visiting the communities up to Lenchfort. There is a story being built up and as they are now near Tower Tofell while thinking Heleggar murdered or traitor by doppelgangers - I see the potential of some Forgecrown family development there.
b) FIlur/Songhal/Torfel and House of Many Tomes placement. Where do you have them on your map? My players now travel the Easting Coast and from Outentown went to Dilpur first for a sidequest and now are in Filur.
c) Did you also deal with Eltab or is only Sonneilon of your making? It seems they will be the main duo for my end game so-to-speak so I do have some questions on them too.
d) How many crowns are there in Impiltur's history???? :D
I am slowly feeding intel to the PCs as they are picking up the crumbs and doing research on them. What I got is the Crown of Narfell which was eventually destroyed to be reforged (the physical part at least in 732 DR) into the Crown now in possession of the Impilturian royalty (Sambryl is regent in my 1373 campaign and the hidden prince Imbrar II is set to take it the next year).
But Ndulu apparently reforged it into what I find online with two titles (Moaning Crown of Ndulu / Shadow Crown of Ndulu) but I guess it is the same relic. And finally I got the twin Crowns of Whispers that are now in possession of Soneillon, first meant to solidify the marriage of the ill-fated Princess Aiia to her Cormyrian groom.
thanks! |

Best map in your head?
Why oh why did my brain immediately pop to some awful pirate movie with Geena Davis where the treasure map was tattooed on some guy's scalp?
Not that we'd ever do that with George, mind you…

What's its name, though?
All I can recall is that its over-the-top swashbuckling (which I'd normally love to pieces) made my suspension of disbelief buckle all too quickly and I gave up on it before I ever finished it.
