Description
Earth Atlas: The Edge of the World. This is a map of the landmasses surrounding Terra Cognita, or the Lands We Know. Outside are more magical realms such as Asgard, Faerieland, the Lands of Romance, and Yhtill.

Most of the place names come from the work of Lord Dunsany, particularly from the short story collection Tales of Wonder, which contains many stories set at or relating to the Edge of the World. Other locations come from Flat Earth cosmologies from various mythologies: such as the emerald mountains of Qaf that surround the earth in Middle Eastern mythology; the river Oceanus from Greek mythology (also mentioned in the Book of Wonder); the East, West, North and South Gates and the metal mountains from the Apocryphal Biblical story The Book of Enoch; and the Angelic Watchtowers from the Enochian magical system developed by John Dee and Edward Kelley. I also made the Crack in the World from Book of Wonder the same as the Crack in the Ocean from True History by Lucian of Samosata.

There are various wormholes placed around the extremities of Terra Cognita that lead to the other sides of the Edge of the World, leading people to the mistaken impression that the Earth is much smaller than it really is.

This will probably shrink down too much to read the place names. There's a larger version here:
