Dreadlands: The Pomarj Peninsula!

Used with Permission. Do not repost without obtaining prior permission from the author. This is the next portion of the Sheldomar Valley map project of mine. It fits directly below the Central Flanaess map found here.
Included in this map is great portion of the Sea of Gearnat, the northwest coast of the Azure Sea, the west coast of Onnwal, the south Wild Coast, most of the Suss Forest. All of the Principality of Ulek and the Pomarj are here as well! Far to the south you'll spot Fairwind Isle and Sybarate Isle of the Sea Princes. I have pictured the islands of the Sea Princes as similar to the large Caribbean islands, in particular Hispaniola, so I added some rugged terrain there.
More than other maps, this one has the greatest portion of its area filled with water. To make things interesting, I drew a barrier reef and sea trench off the coast of Fairwind Isle. You might even spot a few sea mounts here and there.
Enjoy!

(User Info | Send a Message) | | Just a quick question. What do you use as your reference? For instance the map I have that comes with the LGG doesn't show any forests in the Principality of Ulek. Likewise, the road system of the PoU is new to me, and I assume the squares are fortresses? Is there another source that I should look at? Where are Twembly Manor, Oakenburgh, and Brenfluss referenced? Thanks! |

A breathtaking work of art. The brilliant use of color,accurate detail, and Greyhawker heart, moves me. The cartographers union has no place to hang your map for fear of shaming master Darlene. You have this humble DM's deepest admiration, and sincere respect. There simply is no comparison. Thank you.

Regarding the late late reply to my source for Twembly Manor, etc. I believe those came from the WGQ1 Patriots of Ulek adventure, by Anthony Prior.
Feels odd having those mapped when by logic there should be many more such low population settlements throughout the Principality, but I stuck with only mapping known canon sites. The thought of imagining countless similar ruins in Pomarj occupied lands is fascinating.
As for why I placed forests in the hills? The central Drachensgrabs were described as getting a lot of rain. Mountains with abundant rain naturally are covered with forests. That said, I decided to keep them rather sparse implying they have been substantially deforested since . . . Just my own interpretation! |
