Forgotten realms interactive atlas free download
But I really need a lot more dungeons, crypts, houses, inns, mansions etc. Important cities like Neverwinter, Luskan and so on, have zero underlying maps which surprised me. I had the impression that there would be lots of cool detailed buildings, towers etc. So now I would like to try and design some dungeons, crypts, houses, inns, mansions etc. Thank You in advance. Don't know what the FR Atlas does in the way of imports.
The atlas is just a huge collection of linked CC2 maps. That sounds really cool, Remy. Am I venturing into 'lets not talk about it' territory if I ask why FR is no longer available? The FR atlas was a product commissioned by Wizards of the Coast, and the rights belong to them. Sounds all very complicated to me. How sad, though, that just because WoC moved on they had to cut everyone who didn't want to go with them lose!
That's the way of most things. Supporting old software costs money, and if the sales volume is low, it is a net loss.
Still selling old maps that are now technically incorrect also causes a lot of confusion in the customer base when the maps don't match up with the books any more, leading to even more support requests and requests for updates.
Of course, it wuld have been nice if they continued their deal with PF and updated it for newer versions, but they had their mapping software in the lineup [Dundjinni], and the atlas maps wouldn't have been compatible with that. That explains a whole load of questions that have always bugged me about lots of other things!
Thanks Remy. The Forgotten Realms Atlas seems to be the one thing that's really been "forgotten" along the way. These lands are rumored to be the place of origin for ancient races long extinct. The cultures are a blend of Norse and Aboriginal peoples. More about these lands are detailed on the Sundered Realms page.
While the primary goal is to map the world of Toril, it is my hope that others will use these maps to add their own stories and adventures. Though the eventual finished product is a work in progress, the final content will be decided by those who participate. This is the first of three volumes that make up the lands of Faerun. You can select the parent map of any map. For example, if you select the parent icon on the Waterdeep map, you would see an appropriate map of the Sword Coast.
You can also get to the parent by clicking on the center of the compass rose. You can click on hotspots to open other maps. For example, if another floor of a building is mapped, you can click on the stairs to open that map; if a town is mapped, you can select it on an overland map and it will open. On overland maps, you can click on the arrows on the compass rose to see adjacent maps, or click on an area to see a focus map.
How do I navigate within maps? You can zoom to any part of the map in at most two steps. You can zoom in, out, to a particular window, to the extents of the map, or to a pre-defined view of the map.
Finally, you can find and zoom to a particular item of text; this is particularly useful on large overland maps or cities such as Waterdeep — you can find any street or keyed location very quickly. How can I get information about the map? You can find the distance as the crow flies between any two points using Distance. You can find the distance between any two points on a road o river using Length Along and you can find the area of a piece of land using Area -just draw around the area to be measured.
How do I hide and show map features? All of the drawing objects on the maps are divided up into layers. Think of these as overlapping pieces of clear plastic. You can hide a layer remove the clear plastic sheet or show it put the sheet back again. When you print, hidden layers are not shown. What printing options are there? First, what view you are printing. This can be the entire drawing, the view you can currently see, or a predefined view. Second, the scale you are printing at. Finally, you can choose whether to print on one piece of paper, or tile your print across many pieces of paper.
You can export maps as a high resolution bitmap. What changes can I make to maps with the viewer? The viewer is not designed to edit maps, just view them. However, you can add searchable map notes to any map, hide and show layers, or save a particular view, and if you save the map, that information will remain. How were the maps created? We scanned the maps from the source material.
Most of the original were black and white and not very detailed. We then recreated each map by drawing over the scan using our Campaign Cartographer 2 software, correcting errors and often adding interesting detail based on the map keys in the source material. Over CC2 users were involved in the project under the watchful supervision of the Forgotten Realms team at Wizards of the Coast.
