I just realised that I forgot to let you all know that my 5 mile/hex map has been posted. You can see it .

I included the DA3 map area as well, simply for completeness sake.

Obviously anyone who wants to use Blackmoor with the Wilderlands maps is free to change it however they wish. It was interesting to realise that the original Blackmoor area is the size of four of the WL maps - and was only a relatively small part of the Thonian empire. It's a shame there wasn't any further information on the exact size of the empire.

I have just been doing some rough drawings and calculations based on Havard's map - I wanted to know how much space anyone had to leave if they were attempting to link up to Thonia in the south.

It's quite interesting - if you take a standard Wilderlands map (at 5 miles/hex), it turns out that Havard's map is the size of 12.8 WL maps!

What this says to me is that the WL area is really quite small - all 18 maps only cover an area 4.5 times the size of the original Blackmoor map.

I always thought the WL area was huge - simply because there were so many maps, so I did some checking on RW country sizes.

It seems the Blackmoor area has twice the area of Great Britain, and all 18 WL maps combined are just over a quarter of the size of the USA.

So, compared to the size of GB, the maps are big, but compared to the USA, the whole WL is only 3 times the size of Texas.

I suppose it just depends on your perspective, but it will help me to visualize things in my mind while drawing. :)
