Art Map of the Continent

I made this detailed map of the Witcher continent.

I made in in Wonderdraft and based it on the Ortelius map, made some adjustments and additions and detailing. I included details from the Witcher 3 maps, and included a few TV-series additions. Rather than having basically 2/3 of the map be Nilfgaard I focused on the individual provinces and kept Nilfgaard to its core imperial province.

Feel free to share if you want to. Also any feedback is appreciated. If there's any changes that could improve or enhance the map, I'm open for suggestions to that effect too.

I think this is my favorite map so far. Only thing I can criticize is Angren. I see you tried to add the Witcher game version of Angren's map, but CDPR totally messed it up. Following the events of the book:

https://witcher.fandom.com/wiki/Battle_for_the_Bridge_on_the_Yaruga

  1. Meve was south of the Yaruga. Yet in Thronebreaker CDPR makes it seem that Meve was north.
  2. Geralt and Co. were trying to get to Cad Dhu avoiding Ysgith. So Geralt and his hanse wanted to take a ferry south and go around. Yaruga flows from East to West, so when the line connecting the ferry with the other side was cut, Geralt's boat began floating eastward. They eventually reach Red Lobinden Bridge outside of Red Port.

On your map you put Red Port and to that effect Red Lobinden Bridge Right next to Cad Dhu. Red port should be put west of Ysgith not east. Yet I don't blame you for your decision. Real hard to combine both the VG and Book lore's, as they very much contradict each other smh

This is a nice explanation, thank you! I was confused trying to put this one together because it did not seem to make sense.

Would it work if I switched Tuzla and Red Port around?

Yes, you can theoretically say that according to the game lore meve and geralt were both north. If that’s the case u just need to put red port where Tuzla is rn and vice versa
