D&D Forgotten Realms map?

Cheezeninja · #1 April 25th, 2004, 10:08 PM

Ok.. well i have to start tinkering around with a map sometime, so i'm going to try and find a good Forgotten Realms map and work on that. While i doubt i'll ever get a finished product out of it, if i do so much the better, and if i pique somebody elses interest and they do it thats even more fantastic.

I was thinking about dominions and forgotten realms and i realized what a perfect conVersion some of the races are for Forgotten Realms factions...
Soul Gate Ermor - The Shades of Netheril
The Illithids - ... The Illithids
Maztica - Mictlan/ C'tis
The Dales - Man
Sword Coast/ Waterdeep - Arceseophyle
Red mages/ Calimshan - Abysia/ Marignon
Forzen North/Icewind Dale - Jotunheim
Silver Marches - Vanheim
Tuigan Horde - Barbarian King Tien Chi
Cormyr - i'd say ulm but they make good dwarves..
what else?

wow... WoTC really keeps a tight lid on their products... i cant find a copy of the new map Online.

Hmmm... While I can not find a copy of the new map there's bound to be something usable in the 2nd edition books. However the one I found was of such poor quality that it could not be turned into a working Dominions 2 map. Hopefully you will have better luck than me. Finding an image that's large enough can be a bother though.

You haven't by any chance contacted WotC and asked them nicely? While they are understandably hard on scans, and other material from their products, appearing for free they seem to have a policy of supplying images from their products at a regular basis. Since Faeruns map is already well known they might even have a highresolution image around that you can use. At the very least you'll know what their opinion is on the subject.

Hang on. Might have spoken too soon. Found something you might find useful.

With a little cutting and pasting this could be stitched and painted into a good Dominions 2 map.

If you like the Dragonlance setting I also found this.

I cant seem to access that webpage... (the first one) i had found a 2nd edition map that was detailed and broken into about 12 parts, but i was holding out for the absolutly beutiful 3rd edition map
