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

Interesting that the map becomes significantly denser with locations around the Dalelands, I wonder if this combines the poster map with the more focused regional maps we will likely see in the Adventjres Guide?

Maybe, or maybe it's just reflective of the fact that the Dales have been exhaustively covered in lore and other setting products (the 3e FRCS for example) in the past, so are more filled out than further-flung lands.

Very happy to see the Shaar back, it was a travesty what happened to that place in 4th edition. I wonder how far the map will stretch? Kara-Tur? Maztica? Zakhara? Osse?

I would wager it will be either about tge same area as tge 1E OG map, or maybe as much as the 2E map. Nothing beyond Faerûn seems likely given that it is called "The Atlas of Daerûn".

If they are feeling generous they may include some of the boundary space such as the Hoardlands (probably won't call it that), the Utter East, etc...

Yeah, ‘Hordelands’ is pretty easily interpreted as a term used for the steppe by outsiders. Presumably the Tuigan and other nomads have their own name for it, although it’s probably been 35 years since I read those novels so I don’t remember what that might be.

(Damn they did Yamun Khahan dirty in the last book though. Such a weak ending!)

Looked at a map, if they include all of Sempur in the map and they go right past the most southernly spot on the Shining Coast, they will have to include the North Western corner of Zakhara, including the Corsair Islands and some coastal cities. This is because the southern most latitude of Faerun is to the south of Zakhara's most northern latitude, and Zakhara's northern coast actually is diagonal with part of the Shining Sea coast.
