    Brutally good.

    I don't have the old Guardians of Order version of the RPG anymore, but as I recall this more than rivals the map they included in their version.

    Aside from the basic quality of the map, the GOO version came out before A FEAST FOR CROWS, which put a load more locations on the map. So this version not only looks better (although the GOO one is still nice) but it's also a lot more complete. I can't see any locations that have been missed.

    The only slight improvement I can suggest might be naming the mountain ranges? The Red Mountains, Mountains of the Moon and Frostfangs are all unlabelled on this map.

    EDIT: Very minor typo. House Marbrand's castle is 'Ashemark', not 'Ashenmark'.

    I can't see any other errors. DRAGON Magazine did a supposedly professional map of Westeros once and it was riddled with typos and castles in the wrong place. This one wipes the floor with it

    Holy crap.

    That sound? The dull thud?

    Yeah, that was my jaw hitting the floor.

    Thanks to all who replied, especially Pasis, since it was his tutorial that motivated me to give this map a try.

    I did write a mail to Mr. Martin on behalf of the Cartographer's Guild, but he's a busy man, and many would agree that he should rather write books than read e-mails. So let's just wait and see.

    Thanks for all the kind words.

    Would agree with all. Excellent and inspiring work!
