Hi folks,
I've recently completed a huge map of Zakhara; it combines every official source I could find into what I hope is the "definitive" Zakhara map.
Have a look; let me know if you know of any more sources I could use to fill it out a bit more.

Thanks,
-Rob

Nice.

Got anymore you can share with us?

"These things also I have observed: that knowledge of our world is
to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious
thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed
words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn
then, well, the arts of reading, writing, and listening true, and they
will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding."

only if the 4efr map looked like that

why is being a wizard like being a drow? both are likely to find a dagger in the back from a rival or one looking to further his own goals, fame and power

Most, most impressive, sir.

One usually has far more to fear from the soft-spoken wizard with a blade and well-worn boots than from the boisterous one in the ivory tower.

Thank you for that. I have been waiting for a map like this! Great job and thank you for being so thorough!

I love maps, any kind of maps, and this one is most excellent.

Curiosity begs met to ask if you have any other similar goodies hiding about. So, anything else Realmsian map-wise?

(This stuff is great, I like it as well as I do Markustay's maps, and I love how both will likely fit together)

I used MarkusTay's map of the Utter East as a source when putting this one together - I love his stuff and I wish he would come back and do some more! I don't have anything else at the moment, but I think I might do a Maztica map in the same style.
I don't really have enough sources to do something for Faerun, but who knows, maybe one day I will give it a try.

Indeed, MarkusTay is a master and has inspired many an act of sweet, sweet map making in others. Also, took a look at Sorol... Did you do ALL that?!

It turns out there actually IS a map in the "Reunion" adventure, so I've added the locations from that map for this new version. I've been looking around a LOT and I don't think there are any other "canon" maps to be had, so I'm willing to call this one final.

And Cleric: yes, I'm responsible for pretty much everything over at the Sorol site (except the art - most of which I've found floating around on the internet).

Here's another one, of Chult:
http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/4629/chult.jpg
This one was pretty easy, aside from being a lot smaller than the Zakhara map, it's just a restyling of MarkusTay's.

I'm wondering if Candlekeep would like to host these? I see that they've got a few other maps hosted, and if they would like these as well, that would be great.

You, sir, have a very interesting definition of "easy."
