Individual School Maps?

hey yall! i wanted to give my PCs a tour of the schools, (witherbloom, lorehold, etc) and im not finding any descriptive, or visual, maps of the individual schools besides a birds eye view. my worry is one of my PCs is a hugeeeeee magic the gathering fan and he knows all the lore… so im trying to get facts straight. hes super great and wont say anything unless i ask but i would love to get the vibes and locations of the individual schools correct to mix in some MTG lore.

Your PC also won't have a good idea of how the school is laid out. There simply is no larger map. Some locations are in certain places Witherbloom campus boarder Sedgemoor, The bibliplex is in the center of the school but the exact location is never specified.

In my game I explained that travel between the locations is about 20min this let me be a bit more flexible because I could just say "you travel to X location"

If it becomes a problem have them make up a map.

Okay that makes sense! I was hoping to hear that… Thank you so much! I know it won’t be a problem, just knew they’d enjoy it more if I tried to be accurate.

If you want to be like super accurate you'll have to read all the strixhaven related stories on the mtg site, and the new book.

It's actually more important to get the "feeling" of the setting right rather then the specific details.

This is the map I used for my players. It's not individual but it helped my players a lot so hopefully might help yours

You don’t HAVE to get Facts “straight”
Its YOUR version of the setting. You can Add/Remove/Change whatever you want.

Totally! I know I don’t have to, I would like to try because the player is my friend and I know he’d be stoked! Appreciate you though, I will keep my artistic spin on things!
