Pre-Generated Fantasy Maps

A sepia map of realms around the Serathorn Inland Sea, with a wind face in each corner. The north shore holds both prompt features. Mount Calreth's ring of peaks encloses Lake Aelthar, which has a castle on an island and spills into the sea through a waterfall. On either side, two chains of lakes step down to the coast: Dunmere, Kareth and Silth in the west, and Ilyndis, Morin and Talar in the east, each joined by short rivers. The rest of the shore changes character quickly: the Haldrak Desert and its white salt pan, Saltmere, in the southwest, the reedy Sunglass Marshes in the south, and the lava-streaked Emberpeak Mountains and Ashenwaste in the southeast. A huge kraken grips a galleon mid-sea. AI slips: the Northwind and Southwind faces are placed in the two top corners, and the first numbers on the scale bar are garbled. The scale runs to 400 kilometres.

A striking frost-blue map that splits into three worlds. The north is the Ice Spires and the Silvershroud Mountains, a sea of snowy peaks crossed by Thornpass, Rimegate Pass and Skyfall Pass, with Highreach Keep, the castle of Cloudspire and the frozen lake of Wintermere among them. The southwest is a sudden switch to the Sunspire Desert, golden dunes crossed by dotted caravan routes with camels moving between Sandveil Oasis, Mirage Wells and a caravanserai, ending in the red rock pillars of the Ember Dunes. The southeast sinks into the Veiled Marshes, misty reed-choked channels running down to the Pale Sea, where Sunken Thalor is a ruined city of towers standing in the water. A wind face blows from each corner. It is unusual to see desert sand painted in a frost-blue style, and it works. The scale runs to 300 miles.

A sun-faded mountain realm built around water. At its centre the Crownspire Mountains form a ring around Lake Aurelion, with a castle on an island in the middle. On either side, chains of lakes step down through the valleys: Thalor, Meir and Caelen in the west, linked by small waterfalls including Silverbow Falls, and Eldrin, Veyra and Dusk in the east, with fortified towns at Thornkeep and Mireholt. Below the mountains the Golden Valley is farmland round Sunmead, and the rivers meet at the walled town of Valemoor. The west drops abruptly to the sea along the Sundered Cliffs, where Stormcliff and Greywatch watch over the Sunfall Sea and a large sea serpent swims among the Talon Isles. Passes such as Frostglen, Ironspine and Ember lead out through the Karvast Range and the Redstone Peaks. Ravensford is yet another variant of a town name the AI repeats. The scale runs to 150 kilometres.

A vivid gold-framed kingdom where the Northwall dominates everything: a massive towered rampart that runs right across the map, with gates at the Stormgate and Grimspike passes and keeps at Icewatch and Dawnwatch. North of it lie the Frosthelm Glaciers, the White Wastes and the Karvun Tundra, a frozen country of ice and snow round Eldmere Lake. South of the wall is a green, prosperous kingdom: the many-spired capital Aurelion stands on a river, surrounded by the farmland of Sunvale and the Kellen Plains, with towns such as Brightfield, Goldcrest and Oakspire linked by roads. Forests (Eldreth, the Greenwold) and the Moonspire Mountains frame the edges, and the coast holds harbours at Seahelm and Northreach. A huge kraken drags down a ship in the Sundered Sea, and the legend even has its own icon for the Northwall. The labels are clean and readable throughout.

A bright storybook kingdom with two landmarks you can see from across the room. In the northwest, the Celesfall Plateau ends in a sheer cliff, and the Great Falling Waters pour off it in a huge curtain of white spray, with the castle of Stonewatch perched beside them. In the northeast, the Dragon Peaks hold Karethar, the Dragon's Lair, marked with a red dragon flying over the mountains. Between them lies a cheerful red-roofed kingdom: the capital Valemeris sits on a rocky hill where rivers meet, ringed by towns such as Highmead, Rivermoor, Goldbrook and Mapleford, with farmland, windmills and Lake Serene with its island castle. The harbour of Mistralport and its lighthouse face the Azure Sea, where a green sea serpent rises among the Starfall Isles and the Sunspire Islands. A red border marks off the Duskmarsh Lands and the Stormhold Territories. The scale runs to 100 kilometres.

A sun-faded map of lands around the Sunspire Sea that changes climate on every shore. The north is snow and ice: the Frostharn Peaks, the dark pine Winterwood round Iceveil Lake, and the Glacierreach with frozen Stormlake beside Keldar Keep. The northeast is the prompt's canyon, the Emberdeep Canyon, a deep red gorge running from the Dragonspine Range down to the sea, with the Crimson Gates guarding its upper end. The south and east are hot and dry: the Ashen Wastes, the Sorrow Dunes and Mirage Oasis by the desert city of Vhal-Kar, while the Mirehollow swamp sprawls round Blackreed. A walled island city, Aurelion, stands in the sea itself, and Harborfall and Amberfleet are busy ports on the southern shore. Ships sail between the Starfall Islands and the Gullspire Isles. AI slip: the legend's 'Forest' is misspelled and Mountain is listed twice, and Rivermoor reappears from map 149.

A faded sea chart of dozens of islands, with depth soundings in metres, compass lines and dotted sea routes running between them. The whole top of the map is frozen: the Frostwind Expanse, the Icefang Peaks and the Vael Icefield break into floating ice around Glacermere. The western islands are the striking ones, ringed by sheer white chalk cliffs and sea stacks: Stormholme, the Greycliff Isles and Hollowmere Island, with Stormwatch Isle carrying a lighthouse on the eastern side. The central island, Eldren, holds the capital among forests and hills, and the south runs through the volcanic Emberfen Islands, the green Talonis and Mistveil isles, and the reef-ringed Driftwood Atolls. A huge sea serpent coils through the Shard Sea, and a whale and three dolphins ride the Celestial Current. AI slip: the Caerwyn Isles label is slightly garbled ('Caerwytj'). The scale is in leagues.

A superb black-ink coastal map drawn at a slight angle, with the line work of an old book illustration. Its heart is Nethraxis, the Sunken City, a domed palace and rows of broken arches standing in the shallow water of Sorrowmere, surrounded by the Mire of Veils and the Bleak Reeds, a misty swamp of dead trees and channels. East of the mire stretches the Kharathi Desert, where dotted caravan routes cross the Burning Dunes and the Sands of Qamar between the Umbar, Azir, Nahil and Jad oases, with camel trains drawn along the way. The western coast is a jagged line of bays and harbours, from Northwatch Headland and Ravenport past the Widow's Bay and Caer Maris to Tidefall Harbour and Gullspire, and a huge sea serpent rises from the Greydeep Sea. The rocky islets offshore carry names like the Drowning Teeth and the Three Sisters. The scale runs to 200 miles.

A cheerful storybook map of red-roofed towns ringing a bright blue inland sea, sharing its sea's name with map 150 but drawn in a completely different style. The north is a line of jagged peaks cut by the Shattered Fjords, the Skall, Morgrim and Icewake fjords, with the harbour towns of Northwatch and Haldor between them. In the northeast, the Dragon Peaks glow red, with a dragon perched over Vyrnath's Lair near the Ember Spires. The rest of the shore is friendly countryside: the Greenmarches and Lake Sunfell in the west, the Verdant Vale and the Mossfen marsh in the east, the Amber Foothills with a waterfall at Cinderfall, and the Rolling Downs in the south, where the Windrest Ruins stand among the fields. A friendly-looking sea serpent called the Deepcoil swims mid-sea between the Starfall Isles, Gullrock and Serpent Isle. The labels are clean and readable, and the scale runs to 300 kilometres.

A glowing gold-framed continent with an epithet under every region, almost like a ready-made setting guide. Ithralon, the Sacred Mountain, rises above everything in the north, a lone white peak with a halo of golden light at its summit. From the mountains, rivers gather into Lumen, the Great River, which runs south through the Aranneth Heartlands to Vaelorin, the River Crown, an elven city of white spires, and then explodes into the Elden Delta, the 'Thousand Waters', a huge fan of channels and islets. Around this spine sit the Silver Woods of Myrralen, the Fields of Gold of Caeril, the Black Fens of Drakenmoor, the Red Wastes of Magorath and the Jade Shores of Kharazen. A huge kraken drags a galleon down in the Seastar Ocean, and sea serpents swim in the Emerald Expanse. AI slip: the Siltborn Sea label is slightly malformed. The scale is in leagues.

'Where Mountains Meet the Mist': a vivid atlas-style coast that does exactly what the prompt asked. In the north, three lakes, Silverlake, Moonwell Lake and Mistlake, are linked by rivers and small waterfalls below the Frostpeak Range, with the lake town of Riverhold where they drain west. The whole eastern half is the Greywaste Swamp, a dark green maze of channels that spreads into a delta at Serpent's Mouth, dotted with ruined towers such as Bogspire Towers and the Emberfall Ruins, while the volcanic Ashen Spires smoke above it. The western coast is the classic rugged part: Ravenrock Headland, the walled harbour of Duskharbour, Rookbay, Zephyr Cape and Falconwatch Point, with the Blackwind Isles scattered offshore. Sea serpents swim in the Stormreach Ocean and off Tidewatch Harbour. The legend even includes an elevation colour key, a nice touch for an atlas map. The scale runs to 200 kilometres.

A rich, sun-faded city map drawn at an angle, with the Aeron River winding right through the middle of a walled city. On the north bank, Highspire, the Castle District, crowns a rocky hill, and below it the twin-spired Grand Cathedral looks down on a busy Market Square, with the Westmarch Nobles' Quarter and the Northbank Artisans' Quarter on either side. Sunbridge and several other stone bridges cross to the south bank, where the city breaks into canals: the Isle of Bells, the Civic Quarter, sits on its own island, and the Canal Ward of guilds and workshops is laced with small waterways. Waterside, the Merchant Quarter, has long piers full of ships at Dockgate, and the Temple Ward holds shrines and libraries. Every district has a one-line subtitle, which makes the city easy to run. Outside the walls, Eastfields is farms and mills. The scale runs to 1,000 meters.

A grim, scorched-edge city map in dark red and rust, with a skull at the heart of the compass. Drakenhaven is an oval walled city split down the middle by the Vyrni River, with stone bridges crossing at several points and a ring of canals circling both halves. In the northwest, Stormkeep sits on a rocky mound, and across the river the spiky Gothic towers of the Saint Aelthar Cathedral rise above the Highbridge District. The Grand Market fills a round plaza at the centre, surrounded by the Merchant Ward, the Guilds, the Artisan's Quarter and the Riverside Ward, with the Docks working in the southeast. Outside the walls the city turns bleak: the Ashen Slums, Ragpicker's Field, the Graveyard Hills and a marsh simply called the Mire. A legend covers canals and district boundaries, and the scale runs to 1,000 meters. AI slip: the river's name is slightly smudged.

A spectacular tabletop-style continent with a crater city as its centrepiece. Emberhollow sits inside a huge round crater just below the Frostpeaks, a spired city on an island in a crater lake, with waterfalls spilling over the rim and smoke drifting from its walls. Around it, the continent breaks into very different realms: the snowy Frostpeaks and Northern Wolds in the north, the icebergs of the Icefjord Coast in the northeast, the red mesas of the Sunscar Plains and the Ashen Badlands in the east, and the green Wardenwood and Golden Fields in the middle. The southwest is the prompt's tropical coast: the Sunsong Jungle with waterfalls, the turquoise Pearl Reefs and the Emerald Coast. A sea serpent rears up in the Storm Sea and a whale breaches beside dolphins in the Azure Deep. There are no towns labelled outside the crater, so the map works best as a regional overview. The scale runs to 600 kilometres.

A classic sepia archipelago map with dozens of islands round one large central island. Its walled capital, Sunspire, sits on a river island where two branches meet, linked by bridges to farmland and the villages of Greenhollow, Meadowbrook and Stoneford, with the dark Ravenwood Forest to the north and the snowy Dawnpeak Mountains to the east. The outer islands each have a clear character: snowy peaks on the Frostholm Isles and Valemar Isle, red sandstone pillars on the Redcliff Isles, a smoking volcano on the Emberkey Isles, palm trees on the Southwind Isles, and turquoise reefs round the Coralhaven Isles. Lighthouses stand on Silvershore and Tidewatch Isle, and galleons cross the Azure Expanse and the Tideshade Ocean. A sea serpent rises in the Southern Reaches. This shares its name with map 112, though the islands look nothing alike. The labels are clean, and the scale runs to 150 leagues.

A soft watercolour continent with a frozen crown and a wild south. The north is Frosthold, the Northern Wastes: the Skaldrin Glaciers, the Icefang Peaks and the Bleakreach Tundra break into ice floes, with Winterdeep Lake below them. The west coast is the prompt's chalk country, sheer white cliffs along the Mooncliff Coast with the Starfall Stacks standing offshore, and more white cliffs and stacks wrap the Brightcliff Headlands in the east. Inside, the Verdant Plains and Crescent Lake surround the walled town of Rivermoor, where rivers meet before fanning south into the Mirefen Marshes and the Tidehollow Delta. The east is harsher, with the red Redmere Badlands and the smoking Emberpeak Range. A huge kraken grips a ship in the Stormsea, while a whale and dolphins swim in the Emerald Deep. The map has no title, so the name here uses its main town, which also appears on map 149. The scale runs to 400 kilometres.

A sun-faded island kingdom built around a hidden centre. The Crownspire Mountains curve right round Moonfall Lake, and the white castle of Aelthar sits on an island in the middle of the lake, surrounded by smaller wooded islets. The north of the island is frozen: Glacierhelm, the Icewind Tundra and the Whitefang Coast, where ice cliffs break into floating bergs, watched over by the fortress of Northwatch. Below the mountains the land is rich: the Eldenwood Forest, the Golden Fields with windmills round Highmeadow, the Lakeward Vale and the Verdant Reach, with busy ports at Ravenport, Brightshore and Tidecrest. The red Emberfall Hills and the Redspire Range flank the east and west. A kraken grips a ship in the Sunken Expanse and a whale breaches in the Amber Sea. The cartouche calls this the Kingdom of Valmere yet again, so the title uses its lake castle. Icewind Tundra echoes Icewind Dale. The scale runs to 300 kilometres.

A bright atlas kingdom with a named wind in each corner and the kingdom's name written large across its middle. The north coast is torn into fjords, the Stormhavn and Icemouth fjords, under the Karstfjord Glaciers and the Stormpeaks, with castles at Dreadpeak, Highcrest, Thorngate and Ironhold guarding the passes. South of the mountains the kingdom opens into a gentle patchwork of farmland and villages around Lake Aurel, whose island town is Aurelside: Rivermoor, Greenhollow, Meadowbrook, Sunfield, Eldenford and Oakridge, linked by roads and dotted trade routes. The capital, Dawnport, sits on the western coast facing the Silver Deep, and the dense Thornwald forest fills the south. A red dashed border marks off the neighbouring realms of Valmere, Drakemoor and the Blackthorn Marches. Rivermoor appears here again, the same town name as on maps 149 and 160. The scale runs to 100 kilometres.

'Land of Rivers, Realms and the Sacred Peak': a rich tabletop-style continent built around Vaelthar, the Sacred Mountain, a lone white peak glowing with light in the middle of green highlands, with the Silverflow River and the Dawnriver running out from its slopes. The whole eastern side is the Duskmarsh, a vast maze of winding channels and small wooded islands, with Blackreed Haven and Mirewatch hidden inside. The southeast burns: the Cinderheart Range and the Scorched Vale glow with lava around a red crater lake at Redmere and the fortress of Ashenhold. The southwest is the Jadenwild, a jungle of waterfalls running down to Sunspire Bay, and the north rises into the Ironspine Range and the Frostveil Wastes. The capital, Caelthar, sits on the west coast facing the Stormsea. The legend includes sacred sites. AI slip: a stray 'The' floats above the Duskmarsh label. The scale is in miles.

A finely engraved mountain realm with a named wind in every corner (Boreth, Bringer of Storms; Notus, Bringer of Heat). Its centrepiece is Lake Eldenmere, held inside a near-complete ring of peaks formed by the Crownhold Range and the Skyspine, with a castle on the Isle of Kings at its heart. Passes cut through the ring at Mirror, Raven, Elderscar, Mournridge and Redquill, each marked on the trails. High valleys such as the Highvale of Thorns, Frostglen and Dawnshadow sit between the lake and the peaks. To the east, the mountains drop into the Bleached Expanse, a cracked white salt plain with the Saltwraith Flats, Bonescar Dry Lake and Cinder Lake, edged by the Ashen Barrens and the Sunscour Waste. The west coast faces the Elden Deep, with ports at Northwatch and Sunspire, and a sea serpent coils in the Sapphire Expanse. The legend marks passes and region boundaries. The scale is in leagues.

A packed, cheerful storybook map with a crater city at its heart. Eldrath in the Crater is a round walled city of red roofs built on the floor of a huge pit, with a lake inside its walls and waterfalls pouring over the crater rim. Around it the land climbs into the Frostcrown Range, the Icewind Peaks and the Drakemaw Range, where a red dragon flies, and the Skyreach Monastery perches on the highest crag. Passes such as Stonefall, Northgate, Cloudspire and Cinder link the valleys. The southeast is the prompt's swamp: the Mireheart Swamp is a maze of channels, stilt villages and drowned towers that runs down to the Reedwater Delta and the ruins of the Drowned Crown. The west coast is friendlier, with ports at Brineholt, Marlowe and Sunhelm. The Dread Kraken grips a ship in the Stormwake Sea, and a sea serpent called the Coil Below lurks in the south. The scale is in miles.

A vivid tabletop-style archipelago with one dramatic landmark. On the main island, the Cloudrest Plateau ends in a sheer cliff, and the Skyfall Chasm pours several broad waterfalls straight into the sea in a cloud of white spray. The rest of the island is almost entirely the Eldergrove Forest, a dense ancient wood hiding ruined stone archways, with towns at Brineholm, Greenhollow and Oakspire round its edges and the snowy Frostpeak Range to the north. Around it, dozens of island groups each have a look of their own: the volcanic Emberstone Isles, the icy Northwind Isles, the jagged Moonshard and Serpent's Teeth islands, the misty Mistwood Isles and the turquoise reef rings of the Coralreach Islands and the Azure Atoll, with a lighthouse on the Stormwatch Isles. A huge sea serpent rises from the Shattered Sea. AI slips: the islet label in the Azure Atoll is garbled, and 'Atoll' is misspelled 'Atol'. The scale runs to 300 kilometres.

A soft watercolour archipelago whose main island holds both of the prompt's landmarks. The Stonewall, a long towered rampart, runs right across the island, splitting the green Eldergrove forest in the west from the dry Kharadun Plateau and the red mesas of Redmesa in the east. Just south of it, a river drops off the cliff edge in the Great Falling, a wide double waterfall that plunges into a cloud of mist and down into the sea. The snowy peaks of Stormridge and the fortress of Highwatch rise in the east, with the farmland of Sunspire Fields and the port of Seabright on the Mistral Coast below. Around the main island sit the icy Frosthollow, the volcanic Ashenreach and Ember Isles, the waterfall island of Tidebloom and the Cloudrest Isles, and a sea serpent rises in Tyrant's Deep. The labels are clean and readable, and the scale runs to 300 kilometres.

A detailed frost-blue coastal map with a silver wind face blowing from each corner. The walled capital, Aestren, stands on a bend of a great river in the middle of the map, with Meadowfield's snowy farmland and the Kingsroad running past it. The whole eastern half is the Elderwood, a dense ancient forest of snow-laden pines that holds frozen Moonlake, the keep of Thornkeep and the dark tower of Dreadroot, ending at Silverfall, where a waterfall pours off a cliff. The Frostspine Range and the Nymmer Glacier wall off the north. The coast is the prompt's rugged part: harbour towns at Stormcape, Ravenrock and Mistral Point, Hollow Bay and Dragon's Bay, and the busy port of Seabright, with Whalebreak's lighthouse guarding the east. Ice floes drift between the Stormisles and the Sable Islands, sea serpents rise in the Shivering Sea and the Pale Deep, and a whale dives off Whalebreak. The scale runs to 300 kilometres.

A hand-tinted engraving of a tropical island kingdom, with a wind face blowing from each corner. Half the island is the Eldertide Forest, a huge dense wood covering the whole western side, with waterfalls spilling down its cliffs at Greenhollow, Mistwood and Riverfall. The capital, Valmire, stands on a river at the forest's eastern edge, beside the patchwork of the Golden Fields and the Sunridge Hills. The south and east coasts are the prompt's jungle shore: palm-lined beaches at Jadebay, Sunleaf Port and Palmshore, ringed by a wide turquoise belt of coral, the Coralspire Reef, scattered with small islets such as the Pearl Isles and the fortified Reefguard. The snowy Stormpeak Range caps the north, with the lighthouse of Stormwatch Cape on the Dragonspine Cliffs. A sea serpent rises in the Coral Sea. This is a near twin of the AI's favourite name, Valmere, spelled with an i. The scale runs to 150 kilometres.

A painted tabletop coast where everything is raised: the Icefang Peaks and Stormspine Mountains fill the top edge in sharp snowy relief, cut by fjords like Greyfjord that run down to the sea. The centre of the land is the Deadwood, a grey haunted forest of bare black trees and fog that spreads east into the Whispering Mire, with a ruined tower sitting in its heart. Around it the coast stays green and busy: Caelmar Harbour with its walled town and docks, Tidebrook, Duskport, a lighthouse on Sunspire Headland and the Ravenwatch fortress on its cliffs. A kraken drags a ship down in The Black Sea and sea serpents coil in Serpent's Deep. Four wind faces blow from the corners. The scale bar is in kilometres, worth swapping if your setting avoids real units.

A painted tabletop city seen at a steep angle, so every roof, tower and pier stands up off the page. Drakenfell climbs from Azuredeep Bay to a mountain: the docks and Merchant's Docks crowd the waterline with ships tied up along long wooden piers, the Harbour Ward and Dockside (Taverns and Guilds) sit behind them, and canals ring the circular Grand Market Square at the centre. Above the market rises Sunspire Cathedral, then the walled nobles' quarter of Highridge, and at the top the blue-roofed castle of Stormkeep with a waterfall beside it. Behind the walls the Stonecrown Mines dig into the mountain with timber headframes and carts, and Ironridge Pass leads away east. Northlight Lighthouse guards the west point. The scale bar is in meters, which fits a city plan but reads as modern.

A watercolour continent built around one striking landmark: Starfall Crater, a deep round pit in the middle of the land with the walled city of Caelthar packed inside it, its districts (the Sunken Quarter, Scholars Terrace, Market Ring, Emberward) circling a central spire and reached through the Deepgate. Around it the land changes fast. Snowy peaks of the Frosthelm Range sit in the north, the Green Marches and River Thalor in the west, the scorched Ashen Waste and the Ironspine in the southwest, and the red Redwilds in the east. The whole southeast dissolves into the Drowned Mire, a maze of channels and islets dotted with ruined towers like Murkfen and Siltgrave. A kraken wraps a ship in The Deepward, and four named wind faces, Boreth, Austren, Veynd and Sularis, blow from the corners. The scale bar's numbers are slightly jumbled, and Eldermere is a name the AI reuses elsewhere in this gallery.

A sun-faded city plan in ochre and burnt sienna, framed by an ornate border with saints and heraldic beasts. Tharvellen sits in a ring of walls at the foot of Kardrun, the Hollow Mountain, where the Silvervein and Deepdelve Mines and two quarries cut into the slopes with timber scaffolds and carts. The Crownkeep stands on a rocky spur at the centre, looking down on Citadel Square. Every district is labelled with what it holds: the Stoneward for masons and smiths, the High Terrace for nobles, the Market District, the Gilded Row of banks and guilds, the Temple District, the Gardens. The west third is the Shattered Quarter, the ruins of old Tharvellen, and the east is the Arcane Quarter with blue-domed observatories and the lone Starfall Tower. The Sunfall River runs past the Riverward docks. The scale bar is in paces.

A mountain realm drawn as an antique sea chart, with rhumb lines fanning across faded blue water and depth soundings scattered offshore. The land is almost all peaks: the Skyreach Mountains in the north, the Emberspine Mountains in the southwest, the Grasten Peaks and Stonecrow Range in the east, with named passes (Raven Pass, Highcrag Pass, Bronze Pass, Sunder Pass) marked by crossed lines. Down the middle runs a chain of lakes, Stonelake, Deepmere and Mirthal Lake, linked by rivers and waterfalls, and the Stone Road threads between them. Four deep fjords bite into the north coast. A whale breaches beside a note that says giants of the deep swim here, and dolphins play in the Dolphin Sea. Four wind faces each carry a motto, and a proper legend explains the symbols. Grimval is labelled twice and a couple of names are smudged.

A soft watercolour island kingdom whose whole layout points at one peak. Mount Seraphis rises alone from the centre, white and wreathed in cloud with a golden star shining from its summit, clearly the sacred mountain of the realm, while the smaller Stormveil Peaks sit behind it to the north. Below it the island opens into gentle country: the patchwork Sunmeadow Fields with a windmill, rivers winding past Rivermoor and Greenvale, scattered red-roofed farms and villages, and the walled harbour of Kingsport on the south coast where the main river meets the sea. Eldergrove Forest covers the western shoulder and the Amber Hills roll down to Moonreach's lighthouse in the east. A blue sea serpent rises out of the Emerald Ocean, and the scale is in leagues. Rivermoor and Aerithal are both names the AI reuses elsewhere in this gallery.

A winter coast where the snow line sits just above the beaches. The north is all white: the Icefang Peaks, Whitepine Forest and two half-frozen lakes, Thornfrost and Grimwood, with ice floes drifting across them. Through this country runs the wreck of an older road network, the Highroad Ruins and the Old North Road, marked by broken arches and lone watchtowers, and it passes ruined sites like the Fallen Aegis, Stonehollow Ruins and the Broken Spire. The south is warmer and busier. Mistral Haven and Stormhollow are walled harbour towns, Wolfwatch sits on a rocky island in Snowmelt Bay, and lighthouses stand on Crowshelf and Sealguard Point. Two sea monsters lurk in the Shivering Sea, a serpent and a toothed whale. Pinewatch is labelled twice, one copy faded, and the scale bar is in kilometres.

An engraved mountain realm with fine line work and pale hand-tinted colour. The top edge is ice: the Frostwind Tundra, the Glacier of Aerth and the Shattered Glacier pour down between peaks, with Whitehelm Citadel holding the high ground beneath them. Below, the Stormcrown Range and Grimspine Mountains wall in a run of sheltered valleys (Highmoor Valley, Ashen Valley) and two blue lakes, Valewatch and Skyreach. The ruins are what make this one useful: the Karsen, Elden, Greywatch and Dunhollow Ruins, the standing Cinder Monoliths, and the Broken Road, a dotted track that climbs through Raven Pass and Emberstone Pass past them all. Thornwick and Frostmere Port hold the coast, and a sea serpent coils in the Sundered Sea beside the compass. The scale bar is in kilometres.

A bordered kingdom drawn on an old sea chart, with rhumb lines and depth soundings across the water and a dashed red frontier around the land. The kingdom splits into three clear zones. The north is green farmland and forest around the walled capital, with Ravenford, Stonebridge, Sunspire and Redcliff along the roads. The east is the Kharash Desert, a sandy plateau behind a ridge of cliffs, with palm oases at Sahirin, Miraje and Sunwell joined by dotted caravan routes and little camel trains, and Sandgate guarding the way in. The southwest drowns in the Mistfen Swamp, a tangle of channels with towers at Fenwatch, Blackreed and Mirehold. Neighbours like the Velthar Dominion and Draegar Marches sit past the border, and a clear legend lists every symbol. The cartouche says Valmere and the map also has a Ravenford, both names the AI reuses heavily in this gallery.

A watercolour archipelago where one island is far more developed than the rest. The big eastern island carries the realm's two set pieces: a long stone wall with towers, the Northwall, running right across it from coast to coast to shut off the mountainous north, and the walled capital Rivermere sitting where a great river splits around it before tumbling over a waterfall to the sea. South of the capital the land turns into the Mirewood marsh, and a smoking volcano rises on Ashenrock among the Serpent Isles. Westward the sea fills with smaller islands, Eldermere, Thalassa, the snowy Frostholm Isles and the scattered Coralreach and Starfall Islands, all linked by dotted sea routes. A whale surfaces in the Deepening and dolphins leap near the Coral Sea, and a full legend covers walls, roads and sea routes. The cartouche reuses the name Sapphire Isles from map 166, and the scale is in kilometres.

An engraved mountain realm laid out in three bands from north to south. At the top is ice: the Frostwind Tundra, the Glacier of Tharuun and the Iceflow Expanse breaking into floes, with the lonely fortress of Sorrowpeak at the edge. In the middle stands the Stormspine Range and the jagged White Teeth, crossed by four named passes (Raven, Stonegate, Eagle's, and the road through Thornridge) that link high valleys like Mistral Vale and castles such as Skyhold and Dunmar Keep. The south falls away into the Mirewood Swamp, a maze of blue channels and drowned woods holding Blackfen, Willowmarsh and the Sinking Ruins. The east coast is calmer, with Lake Sylwen, the port of Eastmere and galleons sailing into Dragon's Mouth Bay. A clean legend explains each symbol, and the scale is in kilometres. Mirewood and Blackfen are names that show up on other maps here too.

An elven city plan in deep blue and green with gold-leaf trim on the border, cartouche and compass. Aerilmere is a near-perfect circle of white walls with the Silverflow River looping through it, so the centre is a cluster of islands joined by arched bridges: the Merchant Ward on one, the Grand Market on another, and a lighthouse marking the inner harbour. Highspire Castle crowns the hill at the top. To its left the Temple District gleams with golden domes, and to its right the Arcane Quarter glows violet around the Aether Spire, a tall crystal wizard tower. Outside the walls things get rougher: the Riverside Slums sprawl along the river in brown shacks, an Old Quarry sits south, and the dark Blackmarsh fills the southeast. Roads lead off to Westwood, Sunfields and Emberroad. The scale bar is in meters.

A bright storybook island kingdom with a crater at its heart. The royal capital Caelthar, nicknamed the Hollow Crown, sits on an island in a round blue lake at the bottom of a steep-walled crater, linked to the rim by bridges, with a waterfall spilling out of a gap in the south wall and feeding the rivers below. Around it the island is all cheerful green hills, pine woods like Eldenwood and the Mossfen Woods, patchwork farmland and little red-roofed towns such as Rillford, Tarrenshire and Lakeshade on Lake Willowmere. The east coast turns into tall white chalk cliffs at Brightcliff and the White Reaches, with sea stacks called Sailor's Teeth standing offshore. Sea serpents rise in the Severing Sea and near the Starfall Isles, and a whale swims in the Amber Deep. The scale is in miles. Map 172 also put a city named Caelthar inside a crater.

A sun-faded kingdom in ochre and burnt sienna, its border traced with a dotted red line. The northeast corner is on fire: the Cinderspire Range glows with rivers of orange lava running down from Thaelgor, the Ashen Crown, an erupting volcano, and two fortresses, Firestone Keep and the Molten Gate, sit right in the lava fields as if holding the line against it. The rest of the kingdom is calm farmland. The Eldren River runs south past the castle of Thornhelm into the Veldraen River, which fans out into the many-fingered Silverreed Delta on the coast of the Amber Sea, with the walled port of Goldreach beside it. Greenvale Forest covers the west and Lake Caerwen holds an island keep. A named sea serpent, Nethrak the Deep Coils, rises in the southeast. Oakridge appears twice, and one label in the north is garbled.

A sepia parchment continent dominated by desert. The Ashen Expanse, subtitled the Endless Sands, fills the middle with mesas, palm-ringed oases (Saffir, Talim, Solara, Miran and the Amber Wells) and dotted caravan routes that meet at the desert town of Zahur. Around the sands the land changes in every direction: snowy Frosthelm Peaks and the Skael Wastes in the north, green Riverlands around the capital Aldemar and Lake Seryn, the red Karuth Badlands in the south, and the Silvermire Jungles with the smouldering Mount Vorag in the southeast. In the northeast is the haunted forest, the Gloamwood, a mass of black twisted trees captioned where the dead still dream. Ships sail on every side, a kraken lurks off the Ember Coast, and a legend covers caravan routes and borders. Dun Kareth is labelled twice and Ravenford turns up again.

A pen-and-ink continent in fine hatching on cream paper, with the desert left almost blank so it reads as open sand. The Kharan Desert covers the whole east, crossed by dashed trade routes that link the Amber Oasis, Sahra Wells, Dunemere and the walled Mirage City in the middle of the sands, with tiny camel trains drawn along the way and the Red Dunes in the south. The west is the opposite: the Riverlands and Greenfield Vales are ruled into neat farm fields and scattered with villages, rivers wind down from the Frostpeak Mountains past Sunvale and Oakbridge, and the walled capital Valemoor sits where two of them meet. The dense Eldenwood Forest fills the northwest and the Ironspine and Sunridge Mountains frame the south. The legend covers farmland, oases and trade routes. The scale bar is in kilometres.

An antique sea chart of a continent, with rhumb lines and depth soundings over the water and a wind face blowing from the top right corner. On land, almost every region carries a name and a subtitle, which makes it easy to pick up and use: Eldrenglen the Deepwood, the Syran Fields of golden grain, Selun Reach the Olive Coast, Maruth the Emberlands with two smoking volcanoes. The walled royal seat of Thalorim sits on a ring-shaped island in the great river Vaelith, right at the centre. East of it the land dries out into the Shattered Basin, a pale patchwork of salt flats, and Draeth, the Dry Lakes, drawn as cracked white beds with seasonal rivers running into them. The legend marks salt flats, seasonal lakes and seasonal rivers separately. Draken Isle is labelled twice, one small island name is garbled, the motto is in Latin, and Valmorra is a name the AI has used on two earlier maps here.

A clean black-ink world map in the spirit of a fantasy novel's endpapers, with the Aurelian Ocean in the middle and six landmasses arranged around it. The two northern ones, Frostheim and Velgrim, have coasts shredded into long deep fjords, the most striking feature on the page. Karthen in the east holds the chain of lakes the prompt asked for: Lake Thalor, Lake Eldren, Lake Miryen and Lake Serath, stacked one above the other and joined by short rivers. Elyndor and Thalassa sit in the west with forests and the Moonspine Mountains, Talmor is a volcanic island in the south, and Saerath has the Redpeak Mountains and the Khaldur Desert. Small ships and sea serpents are scattered across the oceans, and a tidy legend and a miles scale sit in the corners. Every label is readable and nothing repeats, which is rare for these maps.

A frost-blue mountain realm in white, navy and silver ink, packed with peaks from edge to edge. At the top centre one mountain stands taller than the rest and glows with a golden halo: Arvorath, the Lonely Crown, labelled the seat of the sky spirits. Below it, rivers run from Cloudserpent Valley and the Valley of Echoes into a frozen lake called Frostmere, and a dotted road threads through Northwind Pass, Skycut Pass and the Sunder Gate. South of the lake the snow gives way to the Torgul Steppe, a tan grassland dotted with yurt circles, horse herds and nomad camps (Windhorse Camps, Sunderlight Camp, the Red Yurt Circle) with a nomad road leading east. The coast is a wall of icy cliffs and waterfalls. The sea is crowded with named monsters: a kraken wrecking a ship, a leviathan, Greythane of the Shoals, Icewidow, and a giant skeleton in the Bone Tides.

An antique sea chart of a mountain realm, faded blue water crossed by rhumb lines and dotted with depth soundings, with a merman holding a trident beside the scale. The north is high country: the Stormspine, the Karstfell Range and the Blackhorn Peaks, with the fortress of Frosthold and a road climbing through Greyfleck Pass and Keldor Pass. Below them sits Eldran Vale and the round blue Lake Myrth. The west coast is the showpiece, a long wall of white chalk cliffs called the Whitecliffs, with a row of tall sea stacks, the Saints' Stacks, standing in the water just off it. The south dissolves into swamp: Blackwater Fen, the Mirewood and the Weeping Marshes, a tangle of channels with a gloomy tower at Gallowsmere. A sea serpent coils in the Bleak Ocean. The cartouche reads Valmere again, and two labels near Northreach are garbled.

A bright storybook mountain realm with both of the prompt's set pieces placed side by side. In the middle, a ring of snowy peaks called the Sky Ring encloses Seren Lake, and on an island in the lake stands the fairy-tale castle of Elaris; the only way in from the south is a bridged gap, Moonwatch Pass. To the northeast rises Mount Auren, the Sacred Peak, taller than everything else, wrapped in cloud with a white temple on its summit and sunlight bursting behind it. Around these two the valleys are cheerful farmland and red-roofed villages (Hearthvale, Willowford, Lightmead), a great waterfall at Silverfalls, the orange Redpine Forest, and a drowned ruin in the Sunken Marsh. A named wind face blows from each corner, and a legend covers passes and ruins. The scale is in kilometres, and Rivermoor and Eldermere both turn up again.

A bright storybook archipelago of dozens of green islands scattered across a vivid blue sea, linked by dashed sailing routes. The capital, Lyrnoth, is a walled red-roofed town that fills its own small island at the very centre, ringed by the Shattered Straits. Around it the larger islands mix the prompt's two themes. Solemar and Caelthara are stepped with terraced hills and striped rows of vineyards, while broken aqueducts, arches and roofless towers stand on their slopes as ruins of something older, and Valdren and Velmora carry more ruined keeps above their harbours. Ruined roads run between the ruins. Smaller groups like the Stormspire Isles, Moonfen Isles, Gilded Keys and Mistral Atolls fill the edges, and a volcano smokes on Drakos Reef. A big sea serpent loops through the Wandering Deep, a wind face blows from each corner, and the legend separates terraced hills from vineyards.

A clean, colourful atlas-style kingdom with a crisp yellow border line and a red dashed frontier separating it from its neighbours. The defining feature is a long grey stone wall, labelled the Northwall, that runs east to west across the upper third of the land with towers and gatehouses at Ironwatch and Graygate, sealing the kingdom off from the Frosthelm Highlands and the Khar Durn Mountains. South of the wall everything is gentle: a patchwork of yellow and green farm fields, windmills, small red-roofed villages like Maplewick, Oakmere and Hearthfield, and the round walled capital Rivermoor on the river beside Silvermere Lake. Neighbouring realms (the Thornfell Duchy, the Vaelthorn Realm, the Draegor Wastes) are shaded tan beyond the border. A whale and dolphins play in Sapphire Bay near the lighthouse port of Sunport, and the legend includes a symbol for the wall itself. Rivermoor, Eldermere and Northwall all reappear from other maps here.
