The message with the link in it should be just above your message.

Thanks!

There's a spelling error on that map, though. It's "Coercri" not "Coerci".

It's not the final map, there's a version 2.5 or something if you scan forward.

Nm, version 2.5 has the same misspellings, coerci and colosus. Still, beautiful job. 2.5 added the large lake in the middle of the Center Plains and some other new features that I can't quite detect with my poor eyes.

Such as the spelling of Grimmedhore Forrest (Gump?) in the Land map?

Actually i did start a world map. I got as far as the lands continent..basically i dropped the map i made and started surrounding it with other territory, I didnt like it ... plus i had very little information to go on.. i think there are 4-5 continents shown in the books maps... the land, Elemnesdine, Brathiarain harbor, and i beleive the isle of the one tree..but could be wrong on that.

I may eventually get back to it, but theres really too little info to go by to create a passable version.. all the other continents would be completely made up... best i could do for the giants homeland would be salt tooth, and a view of the coastline.

stil trying to make revisions on Seareach for now..

I've been to the Seareach site before. Very lovely work! :D

(A minor gripe that extends to all Donaldson artists - I see very little work done in the action genre, there are mainly, like 99.9%, landscapes and poses.)

If I had pursued such things I'm sure I would be doing the same. I used to draw, and in fact I sketched Nom when I was a teen. (I also, by the way, sketched a map of John Norman's Gor.) I must say my Nom did not have the same kind of head, mine was basically an elongated shape, like a battering ram, but that's how I understood Donaldson's description. I'm not sure where other artists get the pointed, pyramid-shaped nose feature on the face. The most difficult aspect of Nom for me to sketch was the bird-like legs. I never developed the skill to create an action scene.

I don't know if anyone else found this - but I found Karen von Winstad's Atlas of the Land somewhat uninspired. It's good from a factual/technical point of view, but somehow it seemed to lack 'heart'. Did anyone else notice this.

How does one put "heart" into a map?

Hmm, it's not terribly colorful, if that's what you mean.

True, but it did help me visualise some of the places much more clearly than I could from the text - such as Bhrathrair.

And it helpfully has a location timeline too.

What would be great would be if Google Earth had the Land as an option, like it has for the Moon and Mars.
But hear then, for good or ill. I fulfill the law of my creation. My maker can require no more of me.

People can make their own worlds for Google Earth. I'm sure a group of people who have some brains and the colection of books and this atlas, could make their own map for Earth.

Which would probably be very helpful to those of us who visualize things.
"Branches spread and tree trunks grow
Through rain and heat and snow and cold:
Though wide world's winds untimely blow,
And earthquakes rock and cliff unseal,

My leaves grow green and seedlings bloom
Since days before the Earth was old
And Time began its walk to doom,
The Forests world's bare rock anneal,

Forbidding dusty waste and death
I am the Land's Creator's hold:
I inhale all expiring breath,
And breath out life to bind and heal.

But ax and fire leave me dead.
I know the hate of hands grown bold.
Depart to save your heart-sap's red:
My hate knows neither rest nor weal."
