A New Set of Norrath Maps
Ranger is by far my favorite class to play, but they can spend a lot of time LFG because people can be a little uninformed about their capabilities as pullers, tanks, and dps (and because they are outclassed by other classes). So while I was LFG, I engaged in a bit of cartography.
As nostalgic as I am for the old cloth maps, I personally never felt as though they adequately represented the game world spatially or thematically, with a classic example being Faydwer in general. Using Inkarnate, I've tried to make more detailed maps that roughly preserve the layout and orientation of zones while portraying the continent as a whole and avoiding some of the blockiness inherent in EQ zones. Anyway, Ranger Skyris of Faydark's Champions presents: Antonica [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Faydwer [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Odus [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Kunark [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] (Kunark, by far my favorite continent, was made a while back in an older version of the mapping software.) I'm not sure whether Velious is really worth mapping and I think that's one where I like the cloth map's representation. Please let me know if there's something that's incorrect or you think I should change! | ||

I really enjoy seeing the world represented like this. Gives another sense of space vs. running through in-game.
Just curious what Ghalp in Warsliks Woods is? I remember Veksar launch in LOIO but do not remember anything being added to WW? | ||

Those look great! If one were to print them, is there a particular type of paper or print method you'd recommend using to keep them looking so good?

These are awesome! Great job and thanks for sharing. I really like the Kunark one, although you forgot to label Nurga. I had no idea about the name of the giant fort in WW. If you are stuck LFG some more, you could try to add in some of those Iksar statues =)
