Default 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

Faydwer

Odus

Kunark

(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?

That's Chalp, which is what the forest giant fort in WW is called. This is learned during the iksar SK khukri quest line.

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?

Hah, you've got me, I know nothing about printing-- but I made Antonica and Kunark at a somewhat lower resolution because I think with this specific software it looks a little better (or in the case of Kunark, because that was all that was supported at the time), which means if you try to blow them up it'll be kinda grainy. I'll ask my artsy wife when she wakes up and she might know.

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 =)

I would buy a set of your maps if you ever figured out a good way to get them on cloth like the original, pm me if you ever follow through
