Working off the map that Snorri made and incorporating Zenopus notes I'm in the process of redrawing the map I use for my campaign. I followed Norton's descriptions of Faraaz and Yerocunby so the location differs a little from where Zenopus had them. I also include the wild coast since it's mentioned in the original version of tomb of Horrors along with those Blackmoor locations. Work in progress so comments very welcome!

Interesting.

Any chance of getting a higher resolution of the map? Some labels are a little hard to read.

Tangor is a name from the Mystara franchise. If you want to keep this strictly 1970s style/Arnesonian, a more appropriate name would be The Jungle Realm. In my own projects I try to appeal both to regular Blackmoor fans and Mystara fans, so I use "Jungle Realms of Tangor".

Cirkhosia and Salik is a curious combination. The only thing known about Cirkhosia is that a Circkhosian Merchant once visited Jarl Thorsen of the Skandaharians. It seems a bit far removed from the Skandaharian lands for that, but I suppose real world Vikings did travel farther.

And real quick and dirty - here's about where I think "Province One" - the outdoor survival map goes.



you might be able to see the Wurm river extends north from the OS map into the BM map and the Dragon hills are just to the west of it. I used the really nicely done map here. It'd be nice to clean this up and add the BM names to it but I'm not sure I have the map skills for that. Feel free to play with it if you like.
