Atlas Elyden #60 - The River Shibboleth (low-res)

Added 2020-08-26 02:55:14 +0000 UTC

Here's a type of map that's a bit different to the usual map I make - one that does not describe a nation or series of nations. Instead, his map focuses on a geographical area, specifically the river Shibboleth, one of the most famous rivers in all of Elyden.

I'm sure you've also noticed the unusual format of the map - unlike my usual maps, which are A3 size (42cm x 29.7cm) this one is half again as large, at 63cm x 29.7cm. If I were to ever get the atlas printed, this would be a pull-out page. When I was a kid I always loved books would pull out pages (notably the Star Wars cross-section books by DK, which I still love), and this is my 'homage', ephemeral as it may be, to those books. Of course, I now need to figure out what to put on the reverse side of the page... Ideas are welcome! Let me know what you think, and if this is the type of map you'd like to see going forward.

I've been wanting to make this map for well over 4-years and had even posted a WIP of an old version in the early years of this site, over 4-years ago

You can find an updated key to the map here.

This is the low-res version available to everyone. Become a Patron at the Acolyte tier for access to my back catalogue of High-res, PSD and textless maps.

You'll note that there is no PDF for Encyclopaedia entries as the Encyclopaedia Elyden is now available to all patrons to view - the post is stickied on my Patreon, and patrons at any tier (even as little as $1 month) have access to it. The PDF is a living document and will be updated monthly as I add content to it. You can find it here.
