Hello Greyhawk friends! No comic this week but coming back from
Garycon 2025 I am pleased to share a new map I worked on for my current
5.5E home campaign set in
Perrenland! This map took more planning to execute than actual time to finish. Referencing
Anna Meyer's 576 CY map, I got sucked into the rabbit hole of
Living Greyhawk place names. The Germanic-Dutch naming conventions were too good to pass on, so in my map I have included 90% of what Anna has used. I will develop my own info on these places however as the game evolves. I used a pad of hex paper I acquired from
Allan Grohe at
Black Blade Publishing during
Garycon 2024. This paper is huge, 17" x 22". I wanted a 5 mile per hex scale but by Pelor Perrenland and the
Yatils is so spread out! In order to get MOST of the playable area on this map (I wanted as much of
Lake Quag as possible), I tilted the paper to the right as you can see from the north arrow. Someday I'll get
Krestible and the
Mounds of Dawn onto an adjoining map. The map was drawn in pencil, inked by hand and digitally colored. I feel it's the best map I've done since my
South Seas map. If you want a copy, you'll have to save them from this post. The first map below is done at 72 dpi, the other is at 144 dpi. Until next time, enjoy!
**update 3/27/2025** By suggestion I have added a 144 DPI black and white base map. Enjoy!

Nice map! How are you resolving the linguistic and cultural issues, vis a vis Perrenland ostensibly being mostly Flan but linguistically and culturally being Suel?
I moved the Flan to the highlands along the verge, but have the core hills, valkeys, and lowlands being Sulaerdy, that common mix of the central Flanaess, with a dash stronger Suel, from the same lost spur of tribes that settled Ket.
James: Thanks!!! I pretty much handle it how you describe it. Flan highlanders definitely works for me. Also I'm enjoying a heavy Rhennee presence here since much of the travel within Perrenland can be by water.
