No, but the name is probably lifted from Finland when Ed Greenwood was designing his world.

Is there a smaller version of the Faerun map? Or any other great looking maps? Ideally, I'd like to find a beautiful map with 100-200 provinces.

Thanks,
DB

No smaller version at the moment, sorry to say. I have been intending to make one, but other commitments keep interfering.

A smaller version seems like it would kind of take away from the epicness of the map. What about having sections? So you could play out some of the story arcs in the locales they occur.

That's a possibility I've been considering, but a smaller version of the whole map would be doable. Not halving the province count, but a substantial reduction would be achievable.

This is a gorgeous map and I am playing several games on it. My only wish is that the font (when you press 9) for the province names would be black instead of white. I can hardly read some of those names.

Thanks for the feedback. I had never considered the font color, since I never use the province names filter myself. I'll add that to the next update (whenever that happens). You can add the command to change it to the start of the map file right after the required commands. See the mapmaking manual.

OK...VFB showed me how to do that, unfortunately, I just started an MP game with the map, and it doesn't change games that have started. I started an SP game after changing the font color, and it looks really good. It is now my favorite map!!!

The entire map has been reuploaded, so that the zip now contains the graphic and fixed map files. Thanks to vfb's report, forests that until now had been accidentally clearcut have been replanted and are in fact real forests again (Heartwood, Northern High Forest and Eastern Rawlinswood).

New map files have been uploaded. The change is nothing earth shattering, just a change of province 103 (Calimshan) to nostart, because it ruined somebody's MP game due to being such a crap start I had overlooked.

Anything more, let me know, people.
