Oh man, this is beautiful. And it seems really valuable for future reference. Amazing job, thedoctororwell! Did you use Adobe Illustrator for creating the coastline?

Oh my god, that's absolutely grouse. Yes, what program did you use?

Thank you all ! I'd like to thank JosephineAnwhistle, SnicketFires, RandomPasserBy, PhilipJucker/PJ, FFWF/Dante for compiling the list of locations in the "Dastardly Documents" section. A few places (such as the Royal Gardens) were missing though.
The program I used is called "Paint.net." It's completely free and able to do a lot of stuff Photoshop can do, though it's much more simple to use. I highly recommend it ! Basically I used the scan from LSUA, which I traced in black in supersposition, to create the coastline.

I need to pin this to my wall and spend late nights staring at it. Edit: I'd be interested to see Dante's map, too.

Aye, thedoctororwell, yours bats mine out of the ballpark. But then again, I only really had time to slightly edit my old one. I don't think I'll post it; we have a clear winner here.

Please post it, I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd be interested in seeing your map too.

Yes, I'd be interested in seeing it, definitely.

Yes ! I'd like to see yours too, I'm always curious as to where exactly you situate the Mortmain Mountains or the Finite Forest for example. Thanks for all your kind words, by the way ! Now I have to start my work on a french translation, though it will prove worrysome (some places have two different names in the french books).

This is crazy good and insanely detailed. It honestly looks professionally done.
Was it something that you had already done that you just edited?

This is truly amazing, thedoctororwell. I will ponder it for years to come.
Dante - I too would like to see your map, if at all possible.
Kensicle - 'grouse'?

dNgfgnhngjggnnn....... (falls off chair) This is brilliant. Words cannot describe it. It is already my desktop and I plan to paste it to my wall and fashion a series of bookplates about it. I will tattoo it over my body. Er...it's very good, anyway. I'm glad you've included Stain'd by the Sea, and the green blob next to it (which I presume is the Calciferous (?) Forest).

The Clusterous (sp?) forest, I believe.
