D&D 5E (2024) Atlas of Faerun (with some pictures from the internet)

Especially since I wrote door instead of floor.

But I knew!

Can't beat a bit of Mike Schley. He's the king of Forgotten Realms cartography and its really exciting that a full atlas is on the way.

What is the source though? Is this a product coming soon?

Beautiful! Looks like Mike Schley's work, actually fits well with the style of the now-classic SCAG map.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if this isn't just an expanded / updated version of the SCAG map. I'm pretty sure Mike said back in the day that the full map he'd made was bigger than what got printed in the SCAG.

I thought it is in either of the FR books

It's the Atlas of Faerun, a D&D Beyond product which will be bundled with either of the two new books.

I assume a version of this map will be in at least Heroes of Faerun. Plus I'm better there will be prints and Maybe even blankets with the map on it (I bought a map of Waterdeep Blanket years ago from Spirit Halloween).

If you look at the pictures and compare it to his SCAG map, it's clearly the same artist, but not the same map but extended. He does the water differently, colour's pallet is a bit different, ect...

Good observations. I can't imagine he started from scratch, though. He'll have many layers on his working file, one of which is probably an outline of the land masses and islands. (I bet that working file is ginormous!)

Not only is there going to be a poster map in the forthcoming FR book set, but Beyond will have some sort of interactive Atlas.

Excellent that’s a great idea.
