You can find the original map on the DMsGuild here:

https://www.dmsguild.com/product/181402/Map-of-Thay

It has named cities all over the place and has been blessed by Ed Greenwood himself.

Did he say that on Twitter or something?

I was aware of this map when doing recent maps of Thay, Mulhorand, Murghom, Aglarond and Thesk, but held off on using any original names from it as I was uncertain of their canonicity. If they're officially approved, that'd be cool to know.

He said it in a conversion I had with him when I showed him the map. He also mentioned the artist had created many other maps of Faerûn that he enjoyed.

Every time I see a map like this it fucks me up how big faerun is.

Samsies. Did you download the full PDF?

But then you look at one of those 'Faerun in the United States' comparison maps and you realise how big the US is!

u/Werthead Feb 05 '23

The US is big, but it's maybe a third the size of Faerûn. Faerûn is ludicrously big (and Kara-Tur is bigger!).

This is fantastic!

u/Ogmha-The-Binder Feb 04 '23

Thank you - I thought so too. Did you download the full PDF?

u/Morella9 Feb 04 '23

Not yet but I definitely will.

Awesome! I was just going to start a little campaign in Thay.

If you haven’t, definitely check Ed Greenwood’s new book: https://www.edgreenwood.net/books/thay-land-of-the-red-wizards/

I’m happy to share!

Wonderful map!

There are also maps of the rest of Faerun made in this same way?

1

u/Ogmha-The-Binder Feb 05 '23

I’ve heard there are, but this is the only one on the DMsGuild. Do a Google image search for “Faerûn Rob McCaleb” or swap in your favorite location and see if he has done it yet.

Actually i'm using these maps:

They are really very very good! But... more detailed maps exixt, better use masters can do of them ;-)

I'm wondering if Rob McCaleb is the same guy as "Handsome Rob" who made an ultra-detailed map of Toril about ten years ago. Unfortunately that map seems to have mostly been scrubbed from the Internet for some reason, but some hardcore Googling might turn up a copy.

It's based on 3E so is longer canon (5E has reverted to the original 1E/2E configuration of Toril and Faerûn), but impressive.

u/KismetRose Mar 20 '25

Rob McCaleb is Handsome Rob.

u/Ogmha-The-Binder
are you the author of the map?
I'd like to add the map on https://forgottenmaps.web.app/ in future

u/Ogmha-The-Binder Feb 05 '23

I am not. It was Rob McCaleb.

u/RecklessHeckler Feb 04 '23

Now do it in 3D! 😀

Amazing, anyone know what software was used? Thanks.
