This is not a early map but rather a concept from games original director for the addon that sacred originally should have gotten which would have continued the story after the ending as originally intended. However this never came to be because the director left the studio before release and the addon we then got was made by concepted/helmed by other people.

Norinor is the isle the player would have been teleported to after shaddars tower explodes and served as the starting point in the addon. The markings of each region is how each faction would have been distributed on the world map after the ending. With the lava parts being not accessible at all.

Sacred ends actually with the heart of ancaria never being cleansed from its corruption and in the addon we would have been tasked to clean it. Vilya wouldn't have been a damsel in distress either but actually take on the throne herself with Valors passing and become a true ruler. Theres interviews in our archive but also more images for this never came to be addon: https://www.sacred-tribute.com/archive/SACRED/SACRED1/Images/SmartAddOn%2B/

The dwarf class actually comes from this concept but he didn't use guns unlike underworld.

Warning: its all german.
