largest city in birthright campaign setting

It shows how to make a map come alive through loving attention to detail. Where Greyhawk in particular inspired me for how to draw up a setting map in large scale with placing of ocean and such, Birthright sets a different benchmark that I am still struggling to emulate. A map you could run a campaign with, without even needing a setting book. In fact, if this map had had a creature/location legend similar to the one in Tales of the Lance, it would be unconquerable for 'greatest of all time' setting map. And I think I like this setup better for a setting map - It makes the world feel more intimate. Although the scale of Cerilia is clearly more localised than Faerun or even the Flanaess, the sense of there being plenty of opportunity for exploration and adventure is developed with stunning level of detail instead - Where the Forgotten Realms gives a sense of never running out of new lands across the mountain ranges, this map gives more a sense of each set of hill having new adventure before you even reach the mountain range.

More than anything, it was the map that made me want to know more about this setting.įurther Thoughts: This is is still one of my favourite maps, maybe my alltime favourite. I adored the the woodlands, the mountains, the colour scheme and the stapled borders - It seemed like a world truly alive.

First Impressions: I first became aware of birthright when the Birthright Conspectus was included in one of the boxed sets I bought at the time, which included the fullsized map above.
