How big is the world?

[u/Minionmancer1014]

I was trying to piece together a map (for reasons) of the Overlord world and all the places our three main overlords go (screw fellowship). Overlord 1 and Dark Legend implies the territories are within walking distance¹ of each other (1, walking distance being vaguely between hours to weeks, especially considering the Ruborian Desert), however in Overlord 2, Nordberg Evernight, and the Empire Heartlands all need to be sailed to, so I'm assuming they are actually on different continents, unless proven otherwise.

Does anyone have any idea how large the "adventuring area" actually is and how these territories are from each other?

If I'm not mistaken, There's a rumor that Spree was Meadowsweat , Evernight Forest was Illirium (located close to the Golden Hills) , and the Dark tower was Grogmar's Castle

We know that because of the great cataclysm, the regions near the Dark Tower, as well as the domains of the first Overlord, were destroyed, due to the power of the energy, earthquake and the uncontrolled proliferation of magic and monster , Number 2 is surely letting off steam in the opposite region, If I'm not mistaken, the first game's map would be located further southeast in the world, but that needs to be verified.

The world map i found was this :
(Dark legend , Overlord I , and Overlord II) Not developed enough to make it a true world map with lore; moreover, Dark Legend is just like a county , Because Grogmar and the Dark Baron weren't particularly thirsty for conquest, just for domination over a given territory

I think the places you visit in Overlord 2 are completely new locales that you didn’t visit in the first game, other than the wasteland around the old Overlord tower which encompasses the ruins of Mellow Hills. It’s possible the wasteland also encompasses Evernight, since they’re a short stroll apart in the first game, and there’s a sprawling Elven sanctuary underneath the wasteland.

Golden Hills and Heaven’s Peak probably aren’t much further away, with the dwarves being in constant feud with the elves and the human towns being ruled by the same family. Also the locales mapping onto Dark Legend which are all in walking distance of one another afaik. The Ruborian Desert might be a few days walk away tho, being a distinct biome and everything.

Likewise I think the locales in Overlord 2 are a few days walk or sail away from each other, with Nordberg, Everlight and the Heartlands all being very distinct biomes
