War of the Five Kings

Post by Sunflower » Fri May 06, 2011 2:55 pm

I love George R.R. Martin and the Game of Thrones books (and the new HBO series)! I was so excited to see this map but I wish that there was a complete map of Westeros that shows Bravoos and the Free Cities, the Dothraki, and the land across the Narrow Sea. I might try making my own but I'm not sure how that will turn out...

Hello Sunflower,

Welcome to the forums. There are some FANTASTIC map makers here at Lux and barring copyright infringements with a little persuasion I am sure you can convince someone to either make the map for you or better yet have them help you build the map.

What you have done by making this post is a great start. Hopefully one of our cartographers will help you out.

Peace,
WP

What programs do people use to make maps? Are they made from scratch or can you use an image from a website? Do I need to be super computer savvy cause I'm not

I might be able to help, but it won't be pretty.

I will give you what little knowledge I have. But the copyright thing is a big deal.

Get permission before Luxing a map.

Redesigning the Westeros map for Lux or Vox would be a breach of copyright for sure and probably attract some very unpleasant attention, especially now HBO has adapted it.

Great show and book though, anything but typical of the fantasy genre.
