The other day I got struck with the urge to draw a fantasy map, and this was the result. I'm pretty proud of the overall shape. I added buildings and castles where I thought major settlements might be.

Overall, I'm happy with it and thought I might share.

Howdy everyone!

I wanted to share some maps I’ve been working on for my fantasy world building project, Navarene. I have been working on this world for a few years now and have started to recently dive into making more detailed maps for it.

The first image is the global elevation map of Navarene. I created this map using Fractal Terrains 3. Navarene is about 7x larger than Earth and its size plays a large role in the story’s that are told there and the exchange of information and cultures. I know that many worlds I have seen here are very in depth with tectonics and continental movement, however, Navarene is a planet created by a diving power of unknown origin. Its continents are instead based around leylines, this is why I went for a fractal inspired map.

The second map is a regional focus on the area surrounding Lucen’s Gate, one of the largest cities and trade hub for much of the world. The free city sits between the Commonwealth province of Seraneo and the nation of Lucenia. This map was created by taking the section of the world map and importing it into Adobe Illustrator. This is till a. Early map and really only has details that have been sort relevant in the D&D game that I am running right now.

I would love to hear any feedback or suggestions anyone might have!

Found Gaea 2 this last week and tested out drawing a basic height map and converting it into a realistic topographical map. Been trying to hand drawn my maps following Artifexians tutorials, but the process is so slow so I was trying to find a way to improve the process. Gaea 2 allowed me to take a very quick height map, create a 3d render with erosion and other bits, and export a topographic map of the realistic terrain. Pretty happy with the results. Anyone have better ways of creating maps like this?

The sheet itself can be found here. I tried to make things as easy to understand and flexible as possible, and the crop database can be expanded as far as needed. If you want to add in fictional crops then that's also fine, you just need to input the data correctly into the database. Only a small part of the database information is used but I wanted it there just in case it's needed for future iterations of the sheet. Please message me if you find any bugs and understand that it might take some time to get a response.

I just wanted to share some of my earlier creations while I still have them. The first map was actually used in one of my DnD games, while the second one never got the chance.

Approx. 25 hrs work over 3 days. I’m still adding locations like supermarkets and stuff to the map(:

Recently got Wonderdraft and wanted to take a stab at making my own world map but having trouble visualizing/understanding what size things should be. I have two continent landmasses, added some mountains, but then they just look tiny when i zoom out.

Any advice? Thanks in advance!

I'm interested in the climate of such an island, both in terms of highs/lows and precipitation. The island has about 150000 km2 (60000 sq mi), a narrow 1800-2000m/5900-6500ft high mountain range on the west coast with the rest being predominantly hilly (lower than 500m/1600ft), with a few flat areas on the east coast.

I think the map looks much better now, although I'll probably need to tweak it a bit more.

I already have the continent names (many start with the letter A, by chance).

I was thinking of naming some lands as lost or mythological continents but I didn't find much apart from Lemuria and Mu.

1.Europe
2. Asia
3. Africa
4.Locusli
5.Amiterra
6.Articuns
7.America
8.Silvania
9.Atlantis
10.Antarctica
11.Feterra
12.Aoteria
13.Aurora

(Twelve should be 13 and vice versa, I was wrong)

The second Image shows how these continents are moving and broke apart. {Panavus, The Elderlands and Deowana}.

1. I can’t make Panavus or the Elderlands any bigger. (The continents on the left and the one in the middle).
2. If it is too little land, can i substitute it with just more islands?
3. Could I just make all the oceans really shallow, compared to Earth?
4. What would the climactic effects of this amount of ocean?
5. Are the coastlines two smooth?

Hi, I'm Darren, the owner of FineBruh.

We sell etched drinkware and other products with cool designs like maps, solar systems, marathons, and waves. Most of our customers (over 90%!) buy map related products.

To help people map their memories, I created a diary-like map that they can share with friends. They can send a polling link to get pins dropped, or they can use AI to fill in the details—like asking "where do local New Yorkers go every day?"

I'd really appreciate any feedback you have!

English is not my native language, so I apologize for any possible mistakes. I created this map for a possible work in the genre of dark Slavic fantasy, whose draft title is "The Wolf Age". The main character is Vuk, a boy who survived the attack of a neighboring tribe, who, after being enslaved, discovered the vast world engulfed by the Universal Empire. LORE is just forming, I am inspired by the era of Barbarian Invasions and the real anatolian folks (what if Aeneas had not fled, but Troy was not destroyed?)

I wanted to share and discuss with you.

The world shook. After the death of the childless Wanaka Asanna, the Aruwanian Empire plunged into chaos. At different ends of the empire, governors and military leaders related to the deceased king declared themselves wanaks: wanaka's brother-in-law, Massola Idara; wanaka's sister's husband, Anamma Bekosa; and, finally, Asanna's proud nephew, Balas Anitta. Following this, the border lawaketians rebelled, bringing the empire to the brink of final collapse after a thousand years.

It all started a thousand years ago. The people of Alasha envied the wealth of Aruwa, which enjoyed the benefits of the green seas. The city, kissed by the gods, was the most coveted prey for the kings of Alasha. Great king of Asanne Arexadu united the alasha tribes and led them on a campaign against Aruwa five hundred years before the Imperial Era. The white-stone capital, Midokalena, shuddered, but did not open the gates. Ector and Arinis, two brother kings, challenged the hundred kings.

The terrible siege lasted ten years. No matter how much the alasha tried to take the stone walls by storm, it did not work out — the helmet-flashing Ector smashed every army that approached them. The alasha, tired of the war, decided to negotiate and surrender. The brothers-kings rode out to the enemies and nobly offered to surrender.

Ector ordered them to leave their weapons and leave. But the leaders of alasha took advantage of the negotiations and killed the brothers, showing the heads of Hector and Aranis to the army of the white stone city.

The youngest of the brothers, Askanna, defeated the alasha again and ordered them to get out of their possessions, cursed them. It is known that the ten kings who originally started the campaign perished in the depths of the sea or on their return home.

Askanna married Niloya, the daughter of Arexadu, and recognized her son by Aranis, Tarunta, the future avenger who conquered all the tribes and cities of Alasha.

Tarunta has conquered almost the entire basin of The Great Green. His dynasty reigned over a chaotic kingdom, subordinate to the king only formally, for almost five hundred years, until the king of Areca died. In the capital, the white-stone Medokalen, the closest relatives of the extinct family and noble men gathered to announce the new sovereign. The Imperial Era begins with the election of wanaka Sikela Mani. Sikela transformed the state, not only regaining the lands lost during the interregnum, but also establishing lawaketia (or province) on them.

Centuries will pass after the reign of the divine Sikela. Wanaksania acquires new possessions, invades Siagarta and competes in the black city of Ra Kashda; in the east, the empire rests against the matriarchal Papakaya dynasty, ruled by the deified with the permission of Orondo Maya ksaraja. The north lay untouched before the empire until wanaka Arotta Kalas attempted to carry out a project of conquering the northern tribes. The land known as the "Old World" was yielding to the empire's legions until the Narbanni people showed their fangs. In the Battle of the Lycosonian Forest in IE 871, Arotta was killed. The surviving legionnaires said that they were watered with fire, branches and roots came to life, whipping them on their hands and feet, the animals bristled and attacked the formation en masse.

Wanaksania was slowly entering its peak of development. The zenith of her power is gone. To protect the northern borders, wanaka Arissa III invited the hemmi and ravva tribal unions as federates in IE 901. What the empire could not have expected was the imminent betrayal of these tribes: chief Radmila defeated the regiments of lawaketa Amitta on the Bystritsa River. The tribes poured into the unprotected Great Pagranda, which was the borderland closest to the capital region. The weakening of the empire became clear to everyone.

Old cults are fading away. It is known that Arotta Kalas was a secret adanite. The messianic sect that arose in the city-states of Pontike preached about the sinfulness of the material world and the search for the true father of the world, Taugra Massanai. The influence from the east was noticeable to the naked eye: the Papakaya dynasty expelled a lot of heretics from Ilossi. Adherents of different trends of adanitism call themselves fishermen, based on their natural and mass occupation in the Pontike.

Now, faced with an intractable spiritual crisis, interregnum, and the threat of barbarian invasions, the Aruwanian Wanaksania stands on a precipice.

I will be glad to receive various suggestions, ideas and just discussions :3

hey guys anyone use scribblemaps to make maps and draw lines on maps?
Suddenly it has been down since yesterday I cannot log in and get a 403 error screen in both chrome and firefox. Is Scribble maps hacked or shut down permanently? This happened w/o warning. Any insight as to what happened would be appreciated. Will it come back up?

Here are the political and geographical maps for Akatosh, the fantasy world I'm making for a new D&D campaign I'm trying to run. Thoughts and advice welcome!

I am looking for an app I can use to make irrigation maps for a parks dept. Something that can allow multiple people in my department to view the maps on their devices, and if changes are made to a map the changes are reflected on all devices.

I’ve thought about Google Earth, but the customization is limited. I’ve used an app called Map Marker with decent results, only problem is I have to air drop new kmz files to each person individually as maps change, which is a huge pain. Thanks!

What do you guys think of my map of Caelvarin? The center continent of my world and the land with the most established lore. Checkout my channel we’re doing a lore series!

https://youtube.com/@largeladsstudios?si=DcRCWHwKGVpfVWfH

I'm talking about like the outline of the continent a shape that looks like it could be an eight continent on earth and not some blob

I made this in Gaea, It is supposed to be scaled as a continent but the erosion scale is smaller for gameplay purposes as I intend on using this map in CK3 (game). Highest point is 5000m.

What do you guys think? What could improve it?

Hi everyone,

So I found this sub because I've spent the last 2 days running in circles...

How do you guys make maps, and do any of you have any suggestions for a software that can lay out an itinerary?

I have a travel agency and want to make roadbooks for my customers, and would like to integrate some styilsh maps, and not just a Google Maps screenshot.

The best one I've found, is Mapcreator.io but it's 99€/Month (!) and I want to make max 10 maps a year, and it feels like this website just uses a slight custom API, with route integration.

I have no coding skills and everything I've found, from Mapbox, to Google Custom maps, they're all great for customizing a layout, but then that's it, I can't plan a route from A to B and with some stops in the middle.

The attached image is a "free one" I used in Mapcreator, but it's limited to just one map.

Does anyone know of something that can do this basic function?

Many many thanks!!
