    Map Faerūn Continent, Forgotten Realms

    This map was a progression over many years with more hours than I can count. Research was easily the most time-consuming, as each location needed to be looked up and correctly placed. Because there are so many editions, interpretations, mistakes, misspellings, and creative liberties from past cartographers/designers that have to be compared this took a very long time, with some locations taking over an hour each. In the end, this is where I ended up. I'd argue it's the most lore-accurate, and detailed 3rd Edition map of Faerūn that's been made, and while it may not be beautiful like some of the art-like maps made here, it's meant to be actively used by the Forgotten Realms community as a tool and I think it plays that part very well.

    It was made entirely in Photoshop and took 5 separate maps merged together into a final map.

    Absolutely insane (in the best way possible!)! This map looks amazing and the level of detail you have gone into is superb. You just now need to create a PDF to accompany the map with each location listed with the additional information you researched (just joking here but man this is good!).

    Damn, that's a huge one. Congrats on getting it done, I know I would not have had the patience to see it through... The rivers have to be my favourite detail here, they have a nice flowy look to them.

    Is there any reason why the Sea of Fallen Stars is the only area with the depth of the waters depicted, just out of curiosity? It looks nice, but a little out of place since the rest of the waters don't have anything like that.
