It's pretty hard to find a map that shows all the maps ever made of Faerun. So, I made my own, based on the products I own and other stuff I could find on the Internet.
The old days
I made a minor attempt (see the Secomber rescan) back in the days of 2nd edition, but decided to update it, using a map I found on the Internet.
The Map of Maps
The map I used as my basis is created by Adam Whitehead, and you can find it here: Atlas of Ice and Fire.
There are some differences compared with the original 2nd edition map, which makes sense as the creator of the map above tried to incorporate some of the changes made in 3rd, 4th, and 5th edition.
(Personally, I like the 2nd edition map best, at least when it comes to scale and locations.)
I've currently only marked it with the 2e products I own or know about, but I'll update it over time to include newer / other products.
My old attempt you'll find below:
Maps per country
As I'm messing around with Faerun maps anyway... I found this on the same Atlas of Fire & Ice website:
The map itself splits up Fearun into manageable chunks, ie. countries, and offers a map per country. Unfortunately the map isn't hotlinked, so you have to scroll down a bit on that page to find each individual map.
It's not entirely clear to me if those are scans, DIY, or other formats, but every little bit helps the avid Forgotten Realms traveller and cartologist 😏 Oh wait! On the Waterdeep page, it says:
The maps are drawn from The Forgotten Realms Interactive Atlas CD-ROM and their respective 1st and 2nd Edition sources. They are not necessarily current for the 5th Edition of the setting (which is set c. 1496 DR), as borders have changed and some towns and cities have fallen, whilst newer ones have risen.
Yeah, they look like the Interactive Atlas maps, or are at least based on those.

Hello! I created the maps. They use the same art style as the 1999 Interactive Atlas (itself influenced by the 2E maps), but each map was created from scratch, overlaying on top of either Interactive Atlas maps or scans of the original paper maps.
ReplyDeleteThen all I can say is THANK YOU! for creating it. It did save me the hassle of trying to create my own :-)
DeleteI hope you didn't mind me using it as a base. Note that I did include a direct link to your site, and do mention you as the creator...
