I've been tinkering around with a GW project. What kind of project? Why, a cartography project! And one that doesn't involve wall scraping!

I've created an antique map for GW, in the style you often see the LOTR world brought to life through. The full resolution piece, to be downloaded separately from the link provided below, will allow for a poster sized print of 28"x54" at 300 dpi (71.12cm x 137.16cm). This file is of course a bit hefty, and I would highly recommend not downloading it unless you intend to make a full poster-sized print.

Also, be careful when downloading it as DA refuses to properly parse the link. You'll have to fix it manually.

Nifty things to note:

* The compass is not only a compass, but also an astrology-type wheel, fitting in the gods with their respective seasons and months.
* Each of the gods has been given a seal on the map which roughly reflects its spheres of influence within the world.
* There are no names written on the map. Rather, towns are marked by the guild symbol, or closest representation thereof, of their controlling factions.

Fullsize download from here on DA is reasonably sized for most purposes: 1050x2025 - 3.04MB

GW Antique Map - Print Preview - 2100x4050 - 12.1 MB

GW Antique Map - Poster Print - 8400x16200 - 389.35MB

Also, I'd like to send out a big thank you to :iconhibbary: `hibbary for the stock paper textures she made. They're lovely!

Lovely work on the maps, but both URLs are unavailable (I'm sorry to say). Any chance of them reposted?

This is a cool map . Unfortunately none of the links work for the larger file size. Was hoping I could turn it into a small tapestry of some kind for a co-worker that plays GW. Really need the larger file for that though, otherwise all the detail is lost or blurry.

Great map. I love how you added the gods and the calendar-compass.

Oh, and the landmarks symbols are a great idea too! No need for names, even when you draw this, everyone already knew them by heart.

Amazing map, although Cantha is more to the east and way more to the south
