    The only problem is that map (while gorgeous) doesn't match up well to the Dragon or LGG Map, both of which match up fairly well (though not exactly) to the Darlene Map. Crag and I were using it when making maps of the baklunish west and the dry steppes, and eventually (when I am able to pick up the project again - I do intend to Crag, I promise!!!) the Celestial kingdom and Darak Urtag.

    That said I love the map and given that the entire area is non-official, I don't see that it doesn't match up well as any real kind of obstacle if you wanted to use it :)

    It is really pretty, and it wraps around Google Earth making a lovely wallpaper if you will for whatever Flanaess maps you're displaying.

    But yeah, it doesn't line up well.

    Promises Promises MikelAmroni Laughing

    According to duicarthan the map is the Oerth Journal template and he has also promised to fill in the blank Flanaess and the missing Dramidj Ocean island chains someday. Those omissions aside it is the most complete oerth continental map around that I have been able to find.

    It is also a rough draft from what I gather. Duicarthan's Adobe Suite skills have evolved a bit since this project was begun. He has been AWOL for a few months now, so hopefully he will return soon.

    Also, http://www.greyhawkonline.com/ (run by TheocratIsaak) hosts many fine sites, including Canonfire! and The Oerth Journal.
