Map of Newerth, fan-made

[Strider]

Hey there!

So, i've been doing this little map since a few days now and I feel that it looks decent enough to show it to you guys, on the map you'll find every location we know of so far that exists in Newerth, its not complete yet ( art,landmarks,settlements..etc ) but it should help any fiction writters atleast a little bit.


Feedback regarding layout and locations is appreciated, if you want to help out, feel free to do so!

Edit: updated map

This is quite beautiful. The layout I think is quite well done as you can see the gradual change of climate from the north to the southern lands (to the equator) as it should be.

Also, I was expecting Caldavar to be bigger (if not as big) than Darkwood Vale though.

Where's the marker for Grimm's Crossing?

Wow this looks absolutely beautiful! Great job!

Though the Scar should be perhaps a bit longer. In Drasha's version it was separating the whole continent which I thought was a pretty cool idea.

Caldavar is separated by the river that runs through it, its somewhat the same size as Darkwood vale, though you're right, I'll resize them a bit to make it more apparent.
Forgot to add Grimm's crossing, its getting on the map when I update it, sorry :/
Also the word 'Frozen' above Edge derp.

I wanted the scar to look closer to the one thats shown in the trailer, it wasn't that big but neither was it small, I don't know, link me Drasha's post and I'll think about it. Having the scar separating the entire continent seems a bit extreme.

[[Loli]Blueflash]

Really Nice.

There you go. Taken from this thread.

But you're right I forgot about the savage trailer. The Scar should look like it was shown there.

[Drasha]

My version of the map is just as valid as his but isn't half as beautiful. If you are going to place grimms crossing on your map i would put it on the edge of frostfield since its a snowy map.

I am currently working on a region version of the map with small area break downs like i have for frostfield.

The mountain ranges are a little more accurate on this one and caldavar isn't spanning the entire super content. Haven't penned in the great waste yet still deciding if it should be in south america or in the small area west of the central planes.

Capital's name is Adkarna.

hidden somewhere between Adkarna and Arasunia is the Shining Abbey.

There are two major islands: the Marl and the Iselta. For the purposes of my lore I've placed them a lot closer to Arasunia on my internal mental map, haha, but feel free to place them anywhere you want.

"Scar" the place is kind of incorrect. There are many Scars located in the world of Newerth, but it would also be incorrect of me to also claim that there's no such place named Scar.

All in all, I loved this map. it's beautiful.

Thanks !

I'm thinking of putting Grimm's crossing west of Tundra and north of The scar or east of Blackwal, not sure though. And yeah, both maps are valid, that is until S2 comes up and releases their own, heh.

Looks good, both areas have their advantages to lore and placement wise, south america would slightly be better since its larger imo.

I was kinda undecided on the names of the capital, so I left as just ''Capital'', I've read that its Adkarna but in sav2 trailer its shown as the City of Light, but then again that might be another city altogether.
Don't know, you got a source for those Islands or the abbey? Theres plenty of space around the eastern parts, unless the islands have a non-tropical climate, I may put them in.

As for the scar:
1:28 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbs5dBg6YLo
''And yet in his moment of triumph, Maliken came upon a new and terrible land, known to few inhabitants simply as The Scar''

Its shown that there might be one great scar, bigger and maybe even have some people living around it, the ones that are scattered around newerth are smaller, sometimes having old ruins/shrines around them.

Map updated and fixed broken link.

So where in the world is Carm... I mean the Mid Wars map. It seems to be a jungle location. The Rulian Marsh or Western Swamps are candidates if you ask me.

Where is Grimm's Crossing?

[Drasha]

Where is Grimm's Crossing?

I have grimm's crossing mapped out on the northern part of the map where the 2 is located.


Not sure where strider places it but I assume it would be some where between the scar and the tundra on his map maybe a bit south so its near caldavar.

Click on the full version for the updated version!
Depends on how much time I got on my hands, might work on it a bit more (:

[Dazius]

I made my own name for the capital as "Solaria" since jere's, ophelia's and martyr's skills and or lore mentioned Sol I would've thought their city would be name somewhat after him. :/...

[Drasha]

While its possible the capital was named after sol I think they were more occupied with the though of man and less focused on Sol. (other wise they probably would have went of with the priests)

"The fifth and final disciple, a man of commanding stature and great wisdom, set his standard on the central plains of the human lands and vowed to build from his followers an army that would reclaim Newerth for Man and spread the worship of Sol to all corners of the world. "

Excellent work on the map. I shall be using it as a base reference for my Relationship Chart.

Mind if I use your map as a reference image in my thread? I'll be sure to put a direct link back here.
