That 1st Ed Map

Postby Jaracove » Tue Nov 03, 2015 1:33 pm

Does anyone remember that cool map FASA released for 1st Ed? It had a cardboard...sextant? Not sure, but it helped you gauge the distances between any two points.

I was wondering if this was going to be re released for 4ed.

I'd be all over it like a rash.

Our german licensors have a large-scale map they've done up, and the labels are being translated (a small version of it will be in the color section of the GM Guide).

Yah, it's based on (check out the "enhanced" version with many of the locations referenced back to the books), but done in a "painterly" style. I love it and want one.

That's really nice

Come on FASA, sell us a poster sized map we can stick on our walls!

Take a look at the color map in the Vivane and Sky Point box. The eastern edge has the red lava of Death's Sea fading to blue water.

Yes, I ran into some interesting conflicts when trying to combine all the 1st edition maps for my Atlas. For example, the , and the have Death's Sea completely colored red. While showed "waves" in the main body of Death's Sea (and this map was used for the LRG 2nd edition, where Death's Sea and the Scarlet Sea are both colored blue). went back to 1st (the entirety of Death's Sea is colored red).

I went with the Vivane and Skypoint map & books as authoritative on this point, as the books there describe Parland (near where the lava, water, and dry land meet) as a major Theran port, and also describe ship-trade (mostly "slaves shipped in and disappearing") at the port of Xandorn (Theran village of the Antandair enclave to the south).

I have been working with satellite data recently for my next version of Barsaive. You can see how I interpreted . I see this area as a "walled lava lake", with the wall punctuated by large cinder cones, and spilling lava flows into the water. I used a specific volcano to model this on, nyiragongo crater. Check out to get the idea of a "walled lava lake".

This would be dangerous territory, with many small, unstable island chains... but that makes the Adventures there all the better, right?
