Yeah, I suspect many of us apply our own scale factor to population numbers. :)

Thanks to the Ravenloft Cartographical Society for putting this together!

Thank you friends. Yes Mistmaster’s big Ravenloft has the easy multiplications built in so if you like it big, feel free to multiply away. Our numbers are based on the pops written in the Gazeteers.

Now I have a question. If you have read the Cartulary of Nartok, what are your thoughts on the appendix? That professions chapter is what started the almanac linked above as well as colored most of the Cartulary. Does it make sense? Is the math off? I don’t mind being crazy, but I’d hate to be wrong.

These guys at the Cartographical Society are going nuts. I mean really nuts. They should request a stay at Heinfroth's asylum to cure them from their craziness to details.

Here's the last proof: Almanach of Ravenloft

How cool is that?

Great job guys! That's amazing!

It is quite impressive and i will certainly use it. there is a couple of settlements i can't locate the source for, Sable in Verbrek, Hamelyn in Richemulot (guessing it is an orginal based on the short story), Tekla in Kartakass (does not appear to be from the Mordent Cartographical Society) and Hobbin in Tepest (i checked Hobbin is a person on pg. 6 of Shadow Rift so the source must be somewhere else), if anyone can point them out to me it would be great

About Hamelyn I speculate that it is located in Gothic Earth and the Piper was transported in Richemulot.

That what i thought as well, an original but based some what on the short story, but i may be wrong, i was hoping for some form of confirmation or alternate source material

I'd love to create one core with (almost) all domains included one day.. this tool would help.
My apologies for the delay. Campaign Cartographer 3 was used to create the maps.

Hey guys, I love these maps and I've been using them a lot in my games.

Right now I'm in dire need of a Martira Bay map. Is there any map of this city other than the one from Bleak House? And are you guys planning on making one?

Keep up the good work!

Hello from the Ravenloft Cartographic Society, the only Social Studies class dedicated to the Land of Mists. I have begun micro-sharing the visualized Ravenloft timeline on the FB group, which should get us through the witner. I have presented both my own "large domain" theory maps as well as the ones from Ryan Naylor's Illustrated History of the Core. All the entries are based off John W. Mangrum's Unofficial Ravenloft Timeline, available at this site, as well as the great work done by the community in the Mistipedia for the 3E and netcanon stuff. If you're still antisocialmedia--and who can blame you--I am hopeful our Fraternity members will host the full documents here once they finish their important QtR work.

Alanik Ray, I am sorry to say we have turned south from Nartok to a city even larger than Martira Bay. I will share Lekar, Falkovnia to this thread as soon as I can. I do anticipate we will get back to Darkon eventually because Richard cannot resist a big city!

Great map! I really like the expansion of the city to the west bank and the bridge, they both make sense. Nice that you kept the "impaling parks", though the map from the Black Box had more I think, but I like the guardhouses around them. The only problem with the map is the drawbridge connecting the two banks of the city. It is too close to the Castle's island and its docks making it difficult for ships to maneuver.

It is indeed a great map. All of them are.

Mephisto, you have a good eye. As you mentioned, the bridge is an addition; it wasn't there in the 735 map from the Black Box. And its position is indeed conspicuous....but I assure you not accidental. I don't want to give away to much as we will be writing a cartulary on the city in the future.
