The Forgotten Realms
Atlas Project

Mapping the Realms
The Forgotten Realms Atlas Project is a cartography venture with the ultimate goal of providing digital maps of every region of Toril for players and DMs to use in their games and creations. Toril is filled with vast regions that make up multiple settings within the D&D universe. Faerun is surrounded by the eastern realm of Kara-Tur, Zakhara – the arabian lands of Al-Qadim, and the empire of Maztica – whose cultures mirror those of the ancient Mayans and Aztecs. Each digital map is high resolution, detailing the latest iterations of geography and cities available for any Forgotten Realms campaign.
Pioneering the Unexplored
In addition to existing maps, cartography will be provided for the lands of Revonar and Dari Sinora. These are newly created regions known as the Sundered Realms, spanning the northwest portion of the continent of Anchororme. These lands are rumored to be the place of origin for ancient races long extinct. The cultures are a blend of Norse and Aboriginal peoples. More about these lands are detailed on the Sundered Realms page.
The Ultimate Goal
While the primary goal is to map the world of Toril, it is my hope that others will use these maps to add their own stories and adventures. Eventually after the maps are complete, I’ll be putting together a world journal from a sage’s perspective detailing the history and recent events of these lands. Though the eventual finished product is a work in progress, the final content will be decided by those who participate.
