Title: Maps
Post by: Royce on October 15, 2014, 07:01:32 pm: For some weird reason I just love fantasy maps. Please post your favorite one here.

I will start with this one from Melissa Mcphails series "A pattern of shadow and light".

Cartographers guild is THE place to go if you like maps. I suggest you guys go there and browse it for a (long) bit.

Funny thing: the map you link to, Royce, is also by a member of the CG (he has also a DeviantArt gallery, mind you), named Ramah. The map you linked to, Somna, is by -Max-, a french mapper with a loooot of talent. He has many astounding maps.

So as not to be the only one who does not provide a map link, here goes (another one of Max's maps) :

Post by: Somnambulist on October 20, 2014, 03:35:15 pm: Well... I've been working on one for a couple of months. I didn't want to post it here and bogart Royce's topic, so I'll post it in the Earwa Maps topic I started a while ago, under General Earwa.

To stay more on topic I always liked the maps and geographies in Shadows of the Apt:
