Description Map of the world of Mercury from The Worm Ouroboros (1922) by E.R. Eddison.

I plan to do a fuller map of Mercury once I've read more books set there, but for now I just wanted to focus on the places named in Eddison's book. I consulted a few other fan-made maps for this book and picked and chose which elements I liked best, but took most of my inspiration from the book itself. It was fairly consistent, with the one exception of Byland , which was listed as on both the West and East coasts of Demonland. I ended up having there be two Bylands. It's a long and detailed book, so I might have missed a few place names. 

In case you can't read it, there's a larger version here: www.flickr.com/photos/39534016…

Is Mercury still tidal locked in your world? If so where is this located? Sorry if this is a stupid question I have not read any of Eddison's work yet so I don't know if his Mercury is tidal locked or not.

This is too cool. I'm surpirsed hollywood hasn't just made a bad adaptation of this in trying to copy LoTR! It's so weird, isn't it? Imagine trying to translate it?
