Cormyr Region Maps: West-Central Cormyr

This is a single hand-drawn map created for campaigns set in and around the Kingdom of Cormyr in the Forgotten Realms, which for those unaware of the Kingdom, it is just to the east of the Sword Coast. This map specifically covers the western part of central Cormyr, between Eveningstar and Suzail, and between Waymoot and Hilp. It's suitable for anyone campaigning in the Cormyr region, and is designed to be the sort of map characters might actually see in the world.

This map exists thanks to the patronage of Jeremy Grenemyer, a loremaster on the subject of Cormyr, who has a mini-campaign setting for Cormyr available here on the DM's Guild, called Cormyr - Year of the Ageless One. Portions of this product will make an appearance in his work.

It is based on both Mike Schley's invaluable map of Cormyr (which is available for purchase on his website), as well as maps and lore from the 2nd Edition product "Volo's Guide to Cormyr". I'm not a professional artist, and I used techniques from Jared Blando's "How to Draw Fantasy Art and RPG Maps" to create the map, which I highly recommend. This is my third attempt at map-making, and I also have maps of the region around Triboar and Waterdeep available here on the DM's Guild.

Unlike previous maps, this was created at a much higher resolution. It was drawn on A3 paper in pencil, gone over in ink, and scanned at 600 dpi. The work is of simply higher quality than my previous efforts. Because of this, it is possible to zoom much further in on different areas of the map.

This is a single map of the region, but this product contains 16 versions of that map, to allow for different uses. There are 4 pdfs, each containing 4 maps. Each pdf has a DM's version of the map with all locations, one map being plain, and the other having a 6 mile hex. The other two maps in each pdf are player's maps, one being plain, and the other having a 6 mile hex.

The 4 pdfs, each containing the above mentioned 4 variations on the map, are as follows:

• a canon version of the map, with a colour parchment background
• a canon version of the map in black and white
• an altered version of the map, with colour parchment background, with 2 extra locations from Jeremy Grenemyer, as well as the addition of non-canon names to an unnamed river and an unnamed trail
• an altered version of the map as described immediately above, in black and white

All maps are of exactly the same region. Close attention has been paid to remaining true to the source material, and distances are as accurate as I could make them taking into account inconsistencies between different canon maps.

I hope people find this map helpful to their campaigns! Cormyr is an area worthy of much attention, and continues to inspire through past era products such as "Volo's Guide to Cormyr", and Erin M Evans' novel "Fire in the Blood", as well as the novels of Ed Greenwood.

Ongoing patronage is appreciated, as if this map gets enough love, I will be tempted to continue working on further maps for the region. Thanks!
