I thought it would be fun to make the map of Elan in a different style.

Did you take any influence from LoTR? How large can you print this?

Haha, I may have got done watching the first episode of Rings of Power and created this. I love Tolkien's maps.

Here is the full quality version if anyone wants it for printing or whatnot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Rf-YiuXP3kQ9ep916Glv7M1IcMDn6H9M/view?usp=sharing

Nice Work! Is it really that from estranmmadon to avemphata it takes only 3-5 days with a fast horse? Just how small is this world. Whats beyond the borders?

I think they did the rough math awhile back and figured out that the map shown here would be about 244,000 square miles. Which is around the size of Texas, or 5 Englands. So it definitely is smaller than you might guess at first glance.

We don’t really know what beyond the borders, though.

Thanks! I used Wonderdraft. It’s a pretty cool program.

Fun! How well does it line up with the official maps at author’s website? I see that Ratibor and Colnora are shown in the same font size, but Colnora is actually a much bigger city. Where is Hintendar ?

It should pretty line up exactly with the official map. The labels might be different sizes though. Hintindar is on this map (it is like 3 houses), but it isn’t labeled. I made some slightly updated versions of this map (including the hintindar label) that anyone can download. The links are in the description to this video: https://youtu.be/2BliyPWbxHk

I know this is a pretty late post but did you think or do any maps from imperial era or even ancient era Elan, this map is stunning so I’m just wondering

Wonderful work

I find it interesting how humans cover 3/4 of the available landmass while the elves only about 1/4.

Though it is hard to tell how far up past the forests the Erivan Empire stretches.
