| I believe you'd have to ask Robert Lazzaretti and Dennis Kauth, who are the listed 3e Realms cartographers. |

| Hey Kianna, if you are successful, tell me about it. I think that would help me out with the Triange of Three a great deal also |

| You know odds are good that they use a few different programs and indeed might use odd fashion tools like drafting paper. I know that when I drew a few maps for the net I started with paper, then used a few different computer programs to have the map finished. |

Hello-
IN my somewhat recent pillaging of the OWTC site for downloadable realmslore - I did stumble across an article where they talked about the process used t o make the maps. I skimed it - and it seemed quite involved - something that would not really be possible for a home-game. Sorry that I don't have a link for you thoogh. :(
