Welcome!
The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

NadorMap17MidlandsNorth&ChasmNW
Map 17 connects to the western edge of Map 14 and the northern edge of Map 18. I have never draw what comes directly to the west, although somewhere I have a map of the very western edge of the continent, actually drawn earlier. Back in 1979 I wrote parts of an fantasy novel called The Ellmics, and drew the map for the novel. Later I decided that the events of the novel took place in Nador, and that the map i drew represented the westernmost portion of the continent of Pham. Alas the notebook containing the novel and map got packed last weekend for my impending move, so it will have to wait until after the move for me to scan and post it. Map 17 shows part of the Midland Empire, ruled by an evil emperor endowed with great psionic powers. To the east of the eastern mountain range lies the Chasm of Doom.
