Chapter 1 - Steve's Map

The first two releases were based primarily on the text, but also (in the case of the last release) on email correspondence with Steve.

This release was prompted by Steve's decision to share photos of his maps with me while he was working on The Baron of Magister Valley. I took those photos, resized them to the scale I'm using here (1 pixel = 1 mile), and merged them all into a single image.

That map was further tweaked after conversation with Steve (especially for the new areas introduced in The Baron of Magister Valley, but also for both Seas of Chaos and the Shallow Sea).

The map below is the final map I produced for Steve. I will hereafter refer to this as "Steve's Map", and it is the basis for much of the work herein.

Please note that the coloring of the water and land is taken directly from the photos Steve shared with me; that is, this is how his map was colored.


In the last release (and even on the version of the map I made for Steve above), I pretended that I could draw lines of longitude on the map. Longitude converges on the north pole, so the further north you go, the closer lines of longitude become.

I realized a major flaw in this: I was still using "straight up" as North when it came to translating the text into points on the map.

I attempted to create release 3 with north following those lines of longitude, but ultimately I was not satisfied by the result, so for release 3, I have dropped longitude from my map.
