Hi all!
I am new to this site. I think it is pretty cool. I am a big fan of SRD and The Land in particular. One thing I have always wanted to do is make a much more detailed map of The Land than any previously seen. What I need is a list of all references from the books on distances and locations. With any references given, please include the book and chapter where it was found. I will post the map here when complete. It will be a full color map with excellant graphics (most likely using terrain graphics from Civilization III's map editor).
Thanks for any and all help!

great idea; I will gather what I can and post it; maybe you could also post the work-in-progress, not only the finished map?

I appreciate any and all help on this!
Once I get the map to the point of where there is more info on it than the usual maps, I will post it in progress here.
Vain... sorry, but for now it will be 2D only, although it will have a 3D appearance to the graphics... kind of a 3/4, isometric view.
May the Earthpower be with you!

The best source of information about the land is in a book called "The Atlas of the Land" by Karen Fonstad. There is one for sale on amazon.com (as of 2:00pm CST, Nov-8-2002):
www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/ ... ce&s=books
You can pick it up for about $12.80.

But hear then, for good or ill. I fulfill the law of my creation. My maker can require no more of me.
thanks Ur Dead 
ive been looking for land art and everything points to Kevins watch or antgear. im surprised to be the first to create a more detailed map or at least to everyones knowledge here so far besides antgears rendition..the Atlas and also maps from the books.
I hope some of the artists come back and start creating.
I think i like these books so much because besides them being great books they were my first set of books with a page count larger than 100
my real introduction to reading.
