Greyhawk Adventurer's Atlas
Part 12 - The Master Maps of the Flanaess
The so-called “master maps” are actually three separate works, each showing the entire area of the Flanaess.
1. The Master Adventure Map lists the majority of the adventures given in the atlas as a whole. This map is designed for use by the DM as an overall quick reference when plotting campaigns or plot arcs for role-playing.
2. The Player Map is an expansion of the original World of Greyhawk poster maps, similar in nature to that given in four separate issues of Dungeon Magazine. However, this map also includes fan-made locations in addition to updated canon. This map is suitable for player use, since it will not give away any adventure-critical locations.
3. The Political Map lists the heraldry for states, cities, settlements, organizations and individuals of note in their appropriate geographical locations. The map has two purposes: It intended to give the DM a visual overview of the various political boundaries at a glance. It also highlights the heraldry of the Flanaess, one of the unique features of the fantasy world that has never been duplicated in any other to date (to the atlas author’s knowledge).
Regarding the Full-Sized Maps
The maps themselves are separate pdfs, averaging over 20 megabytes apiece in size. Thus, this portion of the atlas gives notes on each map, a size-reduced overview version and finally a sample image from each full-scale map to allow the reader to decide which of the maps they might want.
