The Provinces of Wei
🕑 Added 2018-11-23 01:57:24 +0000 UTC Welcome to the lands of Fara Wei, or simply "Wei." I've been meaning to draw this for a long time, as it just so happens to be the setting of my own 3+ year old campaign!
The provinces of Wei are the setting of an eternal clash between fantasy-Japan, fantasy-China, and the ancient oni living in the mountains. It's a land with a shrouded history and many secrets, where dreams seem at times to overlap with reality, and ageless dragons hide in the shape of humans.
I drew this in preparation for the release of LegendKeeper, a cloud-based application for building and organizing fictional worlds. I'm very excited to be involved in its development, and am dying to get my hands on it. When I do, I will share some more of my setting with you all! In the mean time, I highly recommend checking it out. It's going to be a real game-changer for my own campaign organization.
That all said, this map doesn't need to be the start of a new campaign for you. It also makes for a great "across the seas" location for your campaign -- don't we all have that player who want to play a zany race that doesn't fit into our current setting? (I'm looking at you, Jeff the cowboy). Alternatively, it's a place to flee to when your party accrues such a bounty that their only option is to flee the continent. Let me know your plans for this map in the comments!
Thanks to you, this map is released under the CC BY-NC 4.0 license.

Looks incredible!

I'm glad it's to your taste, Robert! I tend to always use <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Averia+Serif+Libre" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Averia Serif Libre</a> for my personal labelling.

I've been on hiatus from DMing, but before that, I'd spent quite a long time learning how to create my own maps. I looked far and wide for maps I could co-opt for my campaign to no avail, learning to use Pixelmator (a Mac app that's cheap, not a subscription app, and is somewhat compatible with Photoshop... good enough for me!). But now, looking upon the glory of this map, I think I may just ret-con my setting onto it. THANK YOU for not putting place names all over it, so I can more easily slap my own towns and names... also, again... THANK YOU for the icons you posted previously. This is going to be so much easier and better composed than anything I could come up with. Any suggestions for fonts for place names (cities, mountain ranges, seas and rivers, etc...)? If you're a Windows user, that's fine; I can find similar fonts as long as I have some font names to look up. Thanks!

I plan on releasing my labelled personal version to Patrons as soon as I've put it together. I'm looking forward to it. :)

Sweet map! Any plans for text and label n stuff? Like on the World of Sanspants? I love the different seasons too, what a bonus!!!!

Tokenizing existing maps is more work than making tokens from scratch, but I do have plans to do just that. ;)

Thanks for the plug! This map is beautiful, and I'm excited to see it in LK!

It's truly beautiful! Any plan to tokenize this? :D

You know, I just might use this as the overall map for my next campaign where the players are supposed to become rulers by their own hand by taking over the unclaimed archipelago stretching south from the Lands of the Linnorm Kings in the Pathfinder campaign setting. Those islands do not have a good map already in existence (or at least I have not found one) and while these islands are not a perfect match, they're so close that I'm happy with it.

The seasonal versions are awesome

WOW i really love it and thanks for the LegendKeeper tip! That is so awesome and i hope this will come to life soon!

Oooh, love it! Also, insta-pledge for Braden 🙌

This is perfect for what I need right now! My players are on the elemental plane of water, and are headed to an archipelago for which I have no map :P
