Description This is an odd little side-project i did, because of an off-hand comment I made at Candlekeep.com. I wanted to see if we could place returned Abeir (Laerakond) in the 'new' Forgotten realms in 5e. I had just about given up hope when I recalled Halruaa got blowded-up in 4e, and since I don't see how they can get that back to any semblance of what it once was, I figure maybe Abeir snuck over to the main continent (now that Maztica took its old place back). I originally intended to just do a quick & sloppy paste, just to see how it would fit, and it fit so damn good I just kept playing with it (YES, it is sized EXACTLY - it actually WAS the same exact size as Halruaa!) I even decided to add-in the locales from the quasi-canonical Elsir Vale AP's, and also pasted-in the official canon map from Serpent Kingdoms for Lapaliiya. and Tharsult. I also pasted in a piece of my old Shaareach map just for Dambrath, so its a bit of a 'Frankenstein' (hence the subtle differences in fonts styles, etc). The only thing I left-off were the Border Kingdoms, because I am curently doing them on another map, and don't want to do the same work twice. Use it, don't use, ignore it, whatever. Its 'just for fun'.

Hi , I just used your map as reference to create a commission map for the Region of Skelcor .


By my point of view this makes more sense that other maps I saw around.

Hi there Markustay. Any chance you could send me a copy of your Shinning South + Nentir vale campaign map? I can see it on pin interest but the resolution is not good enough to use?

I really like this idea.

Given my current campaign runs in Halruaa and Dambrath mainly, this just reinforces my resolve to ignore anything past 3.5. If Wizards wants me back as customer they will have to return to a time pre-spellplague.

Anyway nicely done and the Border Kingdom Map sounds interesting. I've run a shortish campaign in the Arnaden, but have always been itching for the Border Kingdoms... in time.

I'm going to repost my Shaareach map, possibly later today, and that had the Border Kingdoms on it. I didn't want to post any of my older ones, since my new ones use a completely different style, but since so many people are coming back to the Realms... and I map so slowly... it might be a good idea to repost a couple of my older ones again.  I still plan to post the latest version eventually, but I've fallen way behind on that main project (have to get Cormyr>Implitur done first). And I understand how you feel, believe me, and I'm glad 5e has brought-back 'the old Realms', at least geography-wise. I just wanted to rescue as much 'Ed lore' from the abyss as possible.

I guess the Erlkazar map cover a good bit of it as well, but if you got something even better reposting that would be very appreciated. Although the Border Kingdoms aren't that urgent for me right now... Impiltur sounds good though, I've plans to go there in my next campaign (which will basically a variant of the venerable Northern Journeys), but I guess that's easily another 2 years till we get there, so plenty time for you to finish.
