***************UPDATED*************** I've just made great update, according to the whole and complete Francesco Mattioli's map. In this way I wish to thank him for his kindness and support for my work. This map is now made according to his work and is accessible here with his permission. And I feel that it would be fair from me to mention Francesco's work. I'm sure my map could be useful, but it is only fan made map. If you wish to have it on your wall, better go to Francesco's and Joe's official site www.mapmagnamund.com***************UPDATED*************** Hi all. Recently, I have been working on composite map of Magnamund and now I have finished last updates. My eternal thanks to Outspaced for his offer to host it on his web pages. I used maps from LW books, Magnamund Companion and LW originals, and there are still blank areas (mostly in Southern Magnamund), so nearly all unnamed cities are made up. So, here is the map. If you spot any mistake, feel free to post it. Edit by outspaced: Fixing link to map.

Seems like Outspaced has been kind enough to host it. Kudos to him and Honza.

The map is amazing.
This page should be made into a sticky so it doesnt get lost over time.

Wonderful work, the most complete ever seen! Congratulations Honza!!
A first little question: why did you attribute Tabora to Lourden instead of Slovia ?

Ahah! So that's how you make a topic "sticky"!

You're all welcome.
I think Tabora belongs to Lourden (according to book 9 map). But if it belongs to Slovia, of course I will repair it.
Keep posting similar issues :-)

Thanks a lot! For Tabora: is the map in the original gamebook 9 colored? If not I don't understand why it indicates that Tabora is included in Lourden...

Thanks again! So I have to ask to PA why do they attribute Tabora to Lourden  Other question: I think that Karkaste is a Magadorian city, from the politic map of the Magnamund Companion (and it could more easily explain the war between Karkaste and Helin in book 6). What do you think? Same problem for Dausar: from the politic map of the Magnamund Companion, it is more probably a Slovian city instead of a anarian city! But you can reply me that the politic map of the Magnamund Companion cannot be trusted because it is wrong when it attributes the Bavari Hills to Dessi instead of Vassagonia (whereas Book 21 clearly indicates that these hills belong to Vassagonia)

That's the trouble with political maps, they're only good for about a year.

Good idea: many wars occured between Dessi and Vassagonia in the past, and so the frontier between these countries could have moved. That's the same problem I think for Karkaste...

I think the city of Dausar belongs to Anari (according to book 18 map). City of Karkaste should belong to Magador, but I always thought of the river Storn as a natural border between Magador and Lyris.
