Thanks, Madness.  I did see that.  Today a map, tomorrow... the world! ( I watched a lot of Pinky and the Brain in a past life.)

I often respond "the same thing we do every night..." at every opportunity. I feel like most people dont share in my mirth.

Indeed it was, Madness.  I feel I must excise said evidence before I roll out my plans.... (wringing hands, twirling mustaches)

Lol, Wilshire.

Alrighty, then.  I updated the main map file on deviantArt.  It now includes the details found on Scott's new maps.  I think I got it all in there.  As always, if anyone spots an error, let me know.

Thats nearly square, maybe 4:3 though. If I print one off, it'd probably be on a 30''x30'' canvas, but I don't want it to get distorted. I'll have to blow it up on my computer at home later and see how it might look.

I'm going to see if Scott will confirm the locations of the Nonman mansions and then hopefully Som can put them on the map

Also going to see if I can post the map of Golgotterath.

Sweet. Also, great avatar pick, Wert.

Perhaps wait till after the TUC release for that one...?

[Somnambulist]

I've been going through all Wert's maps and adding the locations/names that weren't on mine already, including the mansions.  I was sort of waiting for TUC, as well, before sharing the map, just in case Scott had new stuff in the book.

Great map, Som - thanks so much for sharing. I find it very helpful to reference it while reading the story to assist visualization of the journeys. Nice that you can zoom but not lose the definition and be able to clearly read everything ( wish I had a photo rendering program that could do that ).

[Wilshire]

It's all about pixels. Soms map is a huge file, so much resolution.

Nope. The only new map is the one of Golgotterath, which is far too local to feature new details for the main world map. The appendices do have every single previously-published map, even ones that aren't strictly relevant any more (like Shimeh), but there's no new info on them.

Edit: Wilshire - added spoiler tags.

[Somnambulist]

Well, with that in mind, then.  Here's the updated map, including the info from Wert's maps.  I also updated the color scheme, and made the map a full 300dpi, twice the resolution it was before.  It's big.

Wilshire's going to love you for this, Somnambuslist.

[Werthead]

Wow.

I did ask Scott to clarify a few things. Illisseru I think is closer to the sea but still in the mountains, since they actually had ships (although they could have taken them downriver). Siol I think is right in the middle and underneath the centre of the Northern Kayarsus, although the precise location is anyone's guess (Scott had a map of the First Age but apparently couldn't get it into the book).

No plot spoilers, but a fresh backstory revelation from TUC glossary:

It's pretty clear that Siol is the location of the Gates of Thayant, and the Breaking of the Gates refers to the Four Tribes smashing their way into Siol via the eastern passes. Siol was their gateway into Earwa.

Ok, I'll note those changes for next time.  Let me know if you get any notes from Scott.
