Greater Turkestan

Just a look at my recent mapping efforts of western China, the Tien Shan and the Karakoram mountain ranges, using my new map coloring design.  This has been many hours work, more than 60 on the Taklamakan/Tarim Basin alone.  Much hand drawing in this.  And quite a lot of reading of thin historical sources.

Represents content on four different sheet maps.  Sorry I can't give a better resolution at this time.  If you open it as a link in another window, it will give you an expanse icon and you can see more detail.

  1. Very nice !
    Now I'm wondering what would first level characters do if they started there ... I'd definitely start by many questions to the DM, to understand the place.

    What are the people in the area shown, humans, orcs ?

  2. I posted this on twitter where it was easier to read: https://twitter.com/Tao_of_DnD/status/1261503537114017793

    You have to open it in a new tab. But if you look carefully, Vlad, on the far right, above the mid-point, where it is pink because that part of the map is still unmade, you will see a little town called "Chitai."

  3. So there it is !
    What's the economy like ? Are there places of wilderness, conflicts, trade agreements?
