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.

Why is Uppsala marked as the Capital of Sweden?
In this timeline, as in our world, a plague wiped out more than a third of Stockholm's population in the early 18th century. Coupled with trade wars with England, and the burning of what remained of Stockholm in the 1760s by an English fleet, the kings of Sweden relocated to Uppsala.
Please explain the map and the differences from the original.
