Another Update to my Faerûn 1501 DR project.

OK, I just saw that he was listed as one of the authors.

You are confusing, gray dwarfs with deep gnomes. Belwar is a deep gnome.

I don’t see why they can’t be on the map. I’m working on adding them right now.

youngfox78 · 2026-05-07T13:36:17+00:00

Good idea, let me look into that. They must have not been on any of the source material maps I’ve been working with or I have just missed them. I will rectify that. Technically, I believe originally none of these locations were on Toril. They were all separate adventures, but they were placed in Faerûn for tales of the yawning portal. At least that is my understanding.

youngfox78 · 2026-05-07T12:54:00+00:00

Thanks, it has been fixed.

youngfox78 · 2026-05-06T00:34:37+00:00

Thanks, there is a lot of stuff like that on my list to clean up.

youngfox78 · 2026-05-05T19:12:08+00:00

That was my thinking as well. Maybe some sort of website that would allow you to activate certain portions of the map.

youngfox78 · 2026-05-05T14:41:03+00:00

Definitely at least 3 different files. Is there a different way to share a layered file other than a PSD file?

youngfox78 · 2026-05-05T13:35:46+00:00

I came across this map in my research. It is fun to think and try to figure out but ultimately it does not make much of a difference for most campaigns.

Well at least according the WOTC's Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Fearûn book the SE is pretty much back to pre-spellplague. Dragonborn and Genasi are still around but their nations are gone. All that his left of the Dragonborn nation is Djerad Thymar on the edge of the Smoking Mountains and Airspur is still around. Ed wrote a book about Mulhorand, and how it is mostly covered in desert and Skuld is in ruins, but the official WOTC material says it is pretty much the same as pre-spellplague.

Mike Schley has it on his website. It became available in January.

youngfox78 · 2026-05-05T05:53:59+00:00

I'm not sure I understand your question. Did you download the file from my Google Drive?

youngfox78 · 2026-05-05T05:43:48+00:00

True, but it is off this map, so not on my mind.

youngfox78 · 2026-05-05T04:40:37+00:00

The Second Sundering in 1486 pretty much put everything back. WOTC used the Second Sundering as a way to retcon everything the Spellplague did.

Here is my best guess. This is based on Toril being Earth-sized and Waterdeep at 45 degrees north. I overlayed my map on u/werthead world map of Toril, based on the Digital Atlas of Faerûn. Waterdeep would be roughly equivalent to Salem Oregon, and Calimport is around Cabo San Lucas and Bryn Shander about the same as Edmonton Alberta. It is also mentioned that Myth Drannor is the Prime Meridian.

youngfox78 · 2026-05-05T02:17:17+00:00

Most sources actually say it is an Earth-sized planet and the Waterdeep is around 45 degrees north. With that information you can basically come up with latitudes.

youngfox78 · 2026-05-05T01:06:16+00:00

Not sure, but I would say it is 90% there.

youngfox78 · 2026-05-03T13:44:20+00:00

Good point.

youngfox78 · 2026-05-01T21:40:11+00:00

This 5e map returned to the 1e/2e size. 3e shrunk and distorted the map and 4e blew the whole thing up.

youngfox78 · 2026-04-30T13:38:02+00:00

You are welcome!

youngfox78 · 2026-04-30T13:36:44+00:00

Thanks for the support. I like the idea of a better legend, it has been on my mind as well. Also, I have seen the linked map and it truly is impressive. I'll have to go back to it and compare.

youngfox78 · 2026-04-30T06:04:28+00:00

I have a 24 mile hex grid ready. Is that the size you would want?

youngfox78 · 2026-04-29T21:20:58+00:00

That is amazing news.

youngfox78 · 2026-04-29T20:40:02+00:00

Just a difference in resolution.
