North west of the Forgotten Realms


Hi, This is my first post here I am currently in the process of redoing the North/West region of the forgotten realms. I ran a scenario a few years back that was called Princes of the Apocalypse which resulted in the destruction of a region called Red Larch. That is why I have this area identified as a Crater.

Furthermore, I will be running Stormking's Thunder in a few weeks which encompasses this region as well.

My goal was to be able to adapt the map as the story progresses with small flags here and there to identify points of interest and locations of major adventure milestones. I also want to be able to change landmarks if necessary.

So, I decided to give wonderdraft a try since I usually build maps with photoshop, but it alwaus ends up being very time consuming.

I didn't go out of my way to be pixel perfect with the original maps.

What I fuddled the most with were city fonts and color patterns and eventually fell back to a simple white text with a black stroke.

What I still have this to do:

* Identify all roads * Identify all rivers * Create the Moonshay Islands * Finish up the Anauroch Desert * More passes with some more land color blending and smoothing
