So, I wanted a checklist of all the Forgotten Realms novels so I can track my reading progress. A quick search did not turn up anything, so I made one for myself. I took all the info from the FA Wiki.

I just wanted to share it with the community. Let me know if I should make any adjustments or if I am missing anything. It is a Google Sheet and you can manipulate how you see fit. Currently it shows what books I have read. Feel free to download and use it for yourself.

I am only up to 68 out of the 303, but I have read the Drizzt books twice, so that is something. I am looking forward to the journey.

I was reminded by u/Eccleezy_Avicii that the latest map by Mike Schley heavily altered the Hartsvale region, even from his previous versions. Seeing how his latest map is the one I have been using to make my own version of Faerûn, I decided to fix the region. I have attached the original blank Schley map of the Hartsvale region, my physically altered version, the altered version with cities and roads, and finally the Digital Atlas Version.

Here is the link to the hi-res versions:

My question is, where does the Uppuk River go? The wiki and 2e Great Glacier book just say it flows west. They also mention that it is a large river, ranging from 1-10 miles wide. So where does all the water go? The FR Digital Atlas just shows it ending at the edge of the glacier. The 2e Great Glacier book shows it reaching the edge of the map, which does not include the edge of the glacier.

If that is all the info we have then what should I do with the river? I have included a portion of my map showing it cascading off the edge of the glacier at the eastern edge of The Frozen Forest. Should I extend the river anywhere? Maybe flow into the forest and have it die there like the Alaphaer Run? Give me some ideas or knowledge I am missing. Thanks!

I have been wanting to do this for a while. Here is my take on sea depths for the Trackless Sea/Shining Sea/Sword Cast. I have 6 depths.

0-150

150-300

300-600

600-900

900-1200

These are the depths that are used in the 2e Sea of Fallen Stars books. I used them when I did the Sea of Fallen Stars. So now I have added depths to most of the map. I need to do the Great Ice Sea next to Sossal.

REMEMBER, the map is still a WIP. I am still adding locations and I need to really work on the Key/Legend.

All and all I am pretty happy with how it turned out.

As always, here is a link to a Google Folder with hi-res versions:

Still working on my reskinned Mike Schley map of Faerûn. Here I am focusing on the undersea nations of Fearûn. I sourced the information from the FR Wiki, the 2e Sea of Fallen Stars book and the FR Digital Atlas. Let m know what you think.

Also, here is the link to a Google folder with High-Res versions of the map.

UPDATE: Here is a link to the updated version of the whole map of Faerûn:

Here is my attempt to combine both the above and below sea locations around and in the Sea of Fallen Stars. The information came from the 2e Campaign Expansion "Sea of Fallen Stars" and u/werthead's amazing map of same information.

My question is, is it too much information?

Also, I am technically going for a 1501 DR timeline, with the whole project, and obviously this information is from roughly 130 years earlier. I know there are a few things I need to update and change but there really is not much information about undersea life, cities, etc. when it comes to current times. So maybe we just roll with this information.

UPDATE: For some reason Reddit sometimes kills the resolution of the included maps in my posts. I posted the "included in post" maps in the comments. They uploaded there just fine. Wish I knew why. I uploaded the exact same maps. They seem to work on mobile though.

A lot of you have been following my progress on this project. Which is an update to the amazing Mike Schley map of Faerûn. What I have done is taken his blank super hi-res version and added my own symbols, roads and locations. I included all that he had plus so much more. I had to make the font much smaller to get things to fit. This project has been going on for quite some time and when I feel like I am nearing the end I find more. I still have a lot of things I want to do with this map.

I have been scouring all the official sources I can find to update and make this map the most current and accurate Faerûn map out there.

Please look it over and let me know what I have wrong, and what I am missing. I want to share this with the community. I have included a Political map and a 24 Mile Hex map. Here are the links to higher-res maps. Once done, I will share the super high-res version.

Normal Map:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/18K3usp0qvkLRKALkGwonEutdE4Svxo_X/view?usp=share_link

I am working on adding undersea cities and locations. I am also thinking of adding depth to all of the large bodies of water.

Political Map: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gIVQ4AN2DhYP0vB0HpGQCzchYMieVY4i/view?usp=share_link

This map includes nations, kingdoms, realms, spheres of influence, monster territories and tribal lands.

24 Mile Hex Grid Map: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lxndeIS1ueMQIQ06tAovmeoxYS1AkOb8/view?usp=share_link

I went with 24 mile hex because of the size of the map.

This is my prep for including the undersea realms of the Sea of Fallen Stars on my map. I have included my source images. My source material is pre-spellplague. So if my map is based in 1501 DR, how different should it be? I don't know that there is much material about the undersea realms post Second Sundering. Let me know what you think I should include. Should it be pretty much the same as pre-spellplague?

Thought I would try to compile the 1990 Atlas. This is from the PDF. Not the best but pretty cool. I got sick of just see snippets online and I just like to see things in their whole. So, here you go.

So the project continues. I am not sure it will ever end, but we are getting closer. Most things are labeled and the roads are coming along. I have tried to keep this to canon, but even canon has contradictions. So I had to make some calls. Also, I have made quite a few physical changes to the original map by Mike Schley, which was amazing to start with. The largest of those changes is the Great Glacier. Others of note, Black Ash Plain, Aglarond Peninsula(added more rivers and swampland), Shaar (Shaar river flowing underground, more rivers from a 3.5 source book, not a perfect arch to the Landrise, western Landrise a slope instead of a cliff) and lots of other small tweaks. The ultimate goal is to create a map that best represents Fearûn in the year 1501 Dalereckoning, Year of the Shining Mythal.

I have truly enjoyed learning so much about Fearûn and I have really enjoyed learning from all of your comments. Here is a link to a much higher-res(just under 200MB) version of the map. When I am done, if that day actually comes, I will share a 500MB+ version. It looks amazing.

Faerûn Update

https://drive.google.com/file/d/19MpsZGaAIZafJtKJjYyL6vmNZzYYJrDf/view?usp=sharing

Thanks again.

What is up with all the extra rivers? This is from the Shining South setting book from 3.5e, I believe. It has, by my count, 4 rivers that do not show up in any other map. These rivers are not even mentioned in the book, they are only shown on the map. None of them come up in the FR Wiki as well. Should I add them to the map I am working on or just ignore them, like the rest of the world. I guess the artist from the book had fun, but the writers just ignored them.

Here is my update to Mike Schley's Official Faerûn map just showing The Border Kingdoms region. He put out a more detailed map of the Border Kingdoms in 2020. A lot of the info comes from that map and Ed Greenwoods Campaign setting book from the same time. I don't have everything and might add more.

A major change to the region is that I got rid of The Landrise that was in the eastern edge of this map. For some reason on Mike Schley's original Faerûn map he has two Landrise locations. And that drove me nuts, seeing how there is only one, dividing the Shaar in half. Or at least in all the descriptions I can find, there is only one Landrise.

Let me know what you think. Should I add anything else? Any suggestions or things to change. I still need to do some cleanup on the edge of the Shaar. I also added the Neth Peaks and Dragonmount Crag. I am not sure I like how Shantal ended up but I was trying to match the description of the ringed farms. Here is a link to a little higher-res version.

As part of my on going endeavor to create a more perfect map of Faerûn based in the current WOTC official timeline, 1501 DR. I decided the Great Glacier was very much lacking in Mike Schley's map. Here is my try. Here is a link to a hi-res version.

I still need to clean it up by blending all the assets and other general maintenance. But I really like how it turned out. Thanks for all the input from previous posts.
