| This is great. I like the improved text format, much easier to read. I have a question though, what year (DR) is this map supposed to correspond to? |

For Nordahaeril, THIS is about as official as it gets.
I am sad to say none of those map projects have seen the light of day, except for some parts that were used in Mike Schley's maps. Hopefully, someday...
And YES, that is part of a MUCH bigger map - one that is finished (I think).  |

Alright the zoomable map is back up. The plan is to slowly extend the area it covers, but it is slow going.

:O :O :O !!! ... !!!!!!!!!!! !!!
Weeeeeee! Great! Can't wait to see the whole map (and realmslore I suspect comes with it)!
Absolutely fantastic work! Thank you!
@perlmugp thanks for putting it back up. Even in it's WIP state this is still a great tool! A big thank you to you too, and courage too!

Moon Mountain Brewery is missing on your map, though ;-P

Why, so it is!
Both Eric and I missed that one - good catch!
EDIT: Curiously, it would NOT have appeared on that snippet regardless - the scale of that map is enormous, and it would have been off the southern edge. |

Alright ^_^ I guess I just estimated 'on the banks of the Unicorn Run two days' travel north of Secomber' wrong. Depends on wether you're on foot or pegasus' back, probably ;-P |

They are there - they were just further North.

Five.
Talontower is a repurposed Lhuve.
The unlabeled site (with the red line going to it) is a Dlardrageth Armory (there were five of those as well IIRC - two have proper names, but thats not one of them).
And once again, here's to hoping that the High Forest sourcebook sees the light of day at some point.
EDIT: And I just realized there's no way thats the final map - most of the text doesn't have the 'glow' that makes it pop.

I believe so. I was just placing stuff as directed with this one.
You'll note I used the 'ruin' icon, though. I use a different icon now (note Mhilamniir and Karse) for 'extensive ruins'* - meaning more then just one building, like a settlement (think RW ruins). The old, solid square one is of the 'dungeon' variety.
This map wasn't specifically dated like the Shining Vale (Daggerford) one was, but I think it is circa the 3e era (so 1370's).
*EDIT: So having said that, I suppose Lothen should have had that 'extensive ruins' icon as well. I think I was just trying that out for the first time and hadn't finished changing the rest. |

Shouldn't Gairackdar figure on your maps, Markus? ;-P

That would be up to Eric Boyd.
Although I read through his work (which I am sure is greatly added-to and modified by now), I don't recall the specifics, nor is it my place to share them. I try to only elaborate on those things which were preexisting to The High Forest project. |

Oh wow that is fantastic! That's exactly what I need for my current campaign. Is that full map available anywhere? Perhaps for purchase? Awesome work. |

I really wish I had time to get back to all these wonderful FR maps, but alas, my plate is rather full these days. (In a good way - waiting for some announcements).

I would assume so, but you would have to ask Eric Boyd that. All the names were given to me to place. I just did a search of the (brilliant) pdf and couldn't find either.

I would have to ask Eric Boyd if he wouldn't mind me posting the full map at this point (and perhaps the Daggerford/Shining Vale one as well). I did them for him personally. Not sure if anything will be done with them down the road at this point. If he says I can post them, I would probably make them exclusive to The Realms Secretariat (where Eric & Krash have been posting some lore). It cannot be sold, because neither one of us owns the IP, or have any rights to it.
And YES, the map is WAAAAAAAY bigger then that. It encompasses the whole of the High Forest and surrounding regions, and connects directly with the older Shining Vale map (which I completely re-did to make sure they matched). |

| Cool. I've been searching for exactly that type of detailed map. It's so nice to be able to refer to one map with ALL the locations on it, rather than trying to use 3 different maps, between three versions, etc. My players (especially my wife) are exploration driven and they will stare at these maps and discuss what may be here or there for hours at a time. They LOVE the maps, especially your work. All the maps, in particular yours and Mike Schlay's have been driving my entire campaign. Good maps just really make a huge difference. Please let us know if the entire map can be shared. Thank you. |
