Hello everybody,

This small project started as something to carry out a campaign, it grew until the present work. given to the immense invested time, I venture to bring it here, to see if it is a map that can be use and understand, and not just a stein over a blue background. This is a map of Zakhara, of the al-Qadim: Arabian Adventures setting; it is mostly a desert, I have included a small portion of Faerun, either to the northwest and northeast, and of Kara-Tur.

With the textures I tried to find a way to give information, what kind of terrain and where one is standing. I played excessively with fonts, to differentiate each type of label, hope is not to confusing and it is readable.

It is based on two magnificent maps. Hanzo’s map, found in FR Fandom Wiki, because it has a lot of information; besides, I assume is the go to reference when it comes to Zakhara. I also used the maps and ideas of Adam Whitehead, as he is one of the best mappers of Faerun that I have seen. What I use from them was a mix of their silhouettes, to maintain coherence and continuity with existing works, plus few changes, both for convenience or by mistake (it is likely that I have lost few islands). Finally, I toyed with my vision regarding textures, trying to display enough information. I do not add the links to the sources, because I don’t know if it is permitted in this forum; nevertheless, I must give credit to both sources.

My question is whether can be read and used, or was it a waste of invested time.

To those of you who have read this, thank you.
