I don't have a scanner.

That does pose a bit of a problem. I'd offer to scan it for you but I'd burn up 100 bucks in gas doing it.

I'll mail it to you

Maybe I can send it back with Anita Bryant's autograph and some oranges.

Well, if you haven't beforehand, we can experiment with my digital camera and little photo printer at Elohimfest.

Let's do that then.

It's too good of a map to be fuzzy and no matter how odd it may look it's all based on SRD's exact descriptions-prob the only fun I had was extending Perdon a bit north and creating a mountianous, glacial region complete with the impassable river sources that seperate Cadwal and Alend north of Mordant. I started with my own ideals but SRD's borders, etc...made 12 revisions nessesary.

This computers still a bitch.

Excellent job, Danlo! I can't wait to see it without the blur.

Posted: **Thu Jun 17, 2004 12:53 pm**

Me too! Should be pretty good.

Good lord; you just have to have the last word, don't you Revan?

No, of course not. *sly smile*

Definitely an interesting map, danlo. I want a copy. (I'll be bringing my own digital camera to Elohimfest, unless I forget, so that may be possible to arrange, n'est-ce pas?)

Alas, the only names I can read clearly are ALEND and CADWAL, but the rest more or less corresponds to the mental map I constructed while reading the books last time round. I did think of Mordant as a bit more triangular than you've made it — northwestern border closer to a straight line than the roughly circular arc you've shown — but that's the only difference that leaps to the eye. And I freely admit that I'm probably mistaken about that point. After all, you're the one who went over the books painstakingly enough to construct an actual map.

Thanks to Duchess here's a much more readable version of my map (the little purple "Care" is Demense) See link page 2

That looks awesome, danlo! Well done!

Hey danlo!
Anychance of another look at the map you did all those years ago?????I,ve been trying to make sense of my own effort having given my rough copy to a friend who I am trying to convert !!!!It would be great to see what others make of it all !!!
thanks

I'll email Duchess she has the clearer version of the map somewhere-or maybe she can find out what her Webshots problem is.

I do have a scanner now--if I could find the map it would fantastic quality! Hmmmm...

Finally found a link to my map----sorry it's kinda fuzzy but

hey that's pretty cool.
How much was actually done from descriptions of the books and how much was improvised?...

Posted: **Thu Nov 01, 2007 4:30 pm**

Agreed. Danlo, that rocks!

Posted: **Tue Feb 12, 2008 6:35 pm**

It is nice, and a lot better than nothing. (Leaves me wondering why Donaldson, who went to the trouble to write two books in which the geography clearly mattered, didn't trouble to make a map...)

Can't figure out how to save a copy to my computer...
