Map of Faerûn - Part 2!
Illustrated by Moreno Paissan
Hey all!
When I released the map of the Sword Coast from the Forgotten Realms a few months ago, many of you had mentioned wishing that it covered more of Faerûn - so, wish granted!
I am very pleased to bring you Faerûn - Part 2 by Moreno Paissan.
This beautifully hand-illustrated world map moves toward east of the Sword Coast and covers another large section of Faerûn, a major continent in the Forgotten Realms world. It represents a variety of well-known regions, such as Thay (Red Wizards), Rashemen (Minsc & Boo) and Aglarond.
This region of Faerûn hasn't been featured as prominently in WOTC's adventure modules, which take place almost exclusively on the Sword Coast. There's an adventure in Tales from the Yawning Portal that takes place in Thay and certainly many characters, factions and entities one encounters on the west coast hail from these regions. In requesting the map, I requested well-known characters to be placed along the frame, mostly suggested in Discord by your fellow patrons.
Here are the ones that I'd chosen:
Auril, the Frostmaiden
Acererak
Cadderly Bonaduce
Volothamp Geddarm
Laeral Silverhand
...and Minsc himself (Boo to be featured on a future map)
In addition, there are many creatures scattered about the map, and while many of them are potentially indicative of the kind of creature that may roam those general areas, some of them are more specific to that region, like in the Red Wizards and undead in Thay:
My plan, besides providing an awesome version of this map to you guys, is to create an Interactive Map of this area. Similar to the Phandalin Interactive Map I had created earlier, we will start marking major locations with artwork, basic information, famous NPC's that may reside in those locations and (eventually) the ability to zoom in on those locations for which there are maps (i.e. Phandalin, Triboar, Leilon, Ironslag, etc...).
I hope you enjoy the map, and I'm looking forward to providing more fun ways to navigate the world as a whole for those people basing their campaigns in the area.
If there are other known playing areas that you'd love to see represented in this style, let me know, and I can see about doing the same in the future!

First off - these are amazing and will be the only maps of Faerun I will be using. Second, am I missing something, or does the Part 2 not have the names of the nations on them, like part 1 does?
I will take a look -- the labels are all done in a different layer, and it's entirely possible to add them in!
As someone who publicly criticized the previous map not being "all Faerun". I come again to congratulate you guys, team and artist, for this great work, love the map, love the references. Great expectations to part 3. Maybe I finally get a 5e map version showing Halruaa (cut from official sources until now) after the Second Sundering, where I hold a campaign. And an interactive map, wow, dream stuff. Great job! Keep them coming!
Halruaa looks like it will be part of Part 4! =)
Where can we find Part 1?
Hi Steve! You can find it here: https://www.patreon.com/morvoldpress/posts/map-of-faerun-156477050
Blow Scrdale Town (left side of the map) there is a size error.
I will take a look!
Everyone draws Faerun as such a small Continent. Where is the south side? You're missing half the continent.
Part 3 & 4.
