Heretic Spellblade 4 - Map Update

Added 2021-12-09 04:07:16 +0000 UTC

Another book. another update to the map. I meant to post this earlier in the day, but got distracted and forgot to schedule it.

This update just breaks down the Anfang Empire into subfactions. From the descriptions in the chapters, I imagine it's difficult to visualize who controls what, so the map should make things clearer. You get a pretty good idea of how the archduchies break up the Empire here, as well (Milgar controls more land to the south, but it makes more sense for defensive lines to consolidate on a major river when he's outnumbered).

The only new location added is Kravum Rock, which isn't in the right place (it's much closer to Tartus, but text overlapping caused issues). You can see some of my planning ahead here, in that the important locations of this book were already on the previous map. There are a few that won't necessarily play a role yet, and I'll have to keep filling out the map as each book explores new terrain.

Finally, I made some tweaks to the legend formatting. This map style is old, and I don't really like the text style of the Faction/Region names, but I've decided to stick with it for now. Given my next map is likely to be a city map (New Geneva) and I don't even know if I'll do it myself, it's not a big enough problem to focus on.

Let me know if you spot any issues.
