Will try and have a Mapping live Stream tonight at 5PM PDT/8PM EDT. Linda Buth will join for the first time tonight working on 3D fantasy buildings. I'll work on stuff the the upcoming Virtual Greyhawk Convention.
Here is a link to the AI file (4.04GB): https://www.dropbox.com/s/d5itd553brpmjx1/Flanaess%20%26%20Hepmonaland%20Map%20598%20CY%20-%202022%20-%20Public.ai?dl=0
All the terrain and other bitmaps is embedded into the Illustrator file. All the text is outlined, both for performance, and for making sure that exports and prints looks right. It is a beast of a file so be careful downloading it and use a download manager if you have issues.
Here is a font guide to make sure you have the right fonts installed to enable seamless edits.
Text and graphics style templates are embedded in the document, as well as symbols. So all you should need are the latest version of Illustrator, the fonts and a really powerful computer.
This is hopefully my latest major version of this map before migrating the project over to GIS, and it is as big as something can get using Illustrator.
Here comes the hexed versions and PDF!

Come and join Alyssa Faden, Jay Scott and me tonight for the Fantasy Mapping Show Ep 15. We will talk about our setups, tools and how we go about things.
https://www.twitch.tv/lordgosumba @8PMEDT!
Here comes what I hope is the final version with updated credits as well. So please make sure that if you are a $3/month tier patron member or higher your name (or nickname) should be in the list.
Other changes since the preview: Callistor location is adjusted a little bit to accommodate better road access to Beetu, as described in the Marklands. This was something I did on my Campaign map but forgot to add to the public map todo list.
There are still some issues with some symbols looking a bit wonky, that is due to me using text antialiasing. I want to keep the credits text editable until the final release, and in order to make the text easier to read I'm using text antialiasing. For the final map I will outline all text and use art antialiasing which will make the symbols and other vector art export better.
Here is the JPG version (269MB): https://www.dropbox.com/s/p7i0hytrlwovxnd/Flanaess%20%26%20Hepmonaland%20Map%20598%20CY%20-%202022-%20RC.jpg?dl=0
And here is the EasyZoom version: https://www.easyzoom.com/imageaccess/d659f3b3e2ab454bb3b5c32a2ab214e9
Final map export will be done Monday and then released asap. The only changes I plan to make are typos and credits. The rest have been out for preview for a month and its time to settle this edition. Thank you everyone for your support and help, this project is now 99% done! 🙂
Today August 12th Alyssa Faden and me will do another Mapping Live Twitch Stream. Come join us when we map Greyhawk @5PM PDT/8PM EDT!
