A New Kunark Map

[Lune]

As nostalgic as I am for the old cloth maps, I personally never felt as though they adequately represented the game world spatially or thematically.

So I've tried to make a more detailed map that roughly preserves the layout and orientation of zones while portraying the continent as a whole and avoiding some of the blockiness inherent in EQ zones. I love all things Iksar and Kunark so I'm doing Kunark first

looks great!

[Asteria]

NIIIICE! :D

And a graphic for the raid FEESH too! Nice touches here and there. ����

[Tethler]

Nice work! Looks fantastic.

When you say "I'm doing Kunark first" does that mean you're planning to do old world and Velious too?

[Swish2]

Looks awesome, nice work Lune ^^

I've done one for Velious during heavy snowfall - take a look below:-






































Good, eh?

[Foxplay]

City of mist is actually called Torsis?

Lake of Dismay...

Dragons Drool

sound like cool zones that never got made heh

[Mblake81]

Saved it.

[Asteria]

Sorry I didn't ask in previous post, but where are the names "Chalp" and "Danak" from? Looks like forest giant fort and Evils Overthere outpost to me.

The detail is unprecedented

[Xap]

Brilliant! Really like this, I always had the same feeling about the original cloth maps - the scale is way off.

[Aevor]

It looks great!

[Champion_Standing]

nice

I can't speak for Danak, but one of the iksar crusader quests sends you off to rescue a captured iksar crusader sent to map the giant fort. In that quest you receive the "Chalp Diagram", which is the map he made. Similarly, another crusader test as well as the shaman epic refer to City of Mists as "Torsis". Also how you learn the real name of Howling Stones. Some of the names are referenced in promotional material as well.

Great map! Piecing all the ruined areas together, it's really interesting to see how far the Sebilsian Empire stretched.

There is an in-game quest for iksar shadow knights (http://wiki.project1999.com/Crusader%27s_Tests) that refers to the Kromdul fortress in Warsliks as Chalp (Test of the Zealot). Danak was the name of the OT outpost when it was iksar shipyards and afaik is still the name of the "outpost". Went with Danak because I was giving everything an iksar slant (torsis instead of CoM, etc)

[Larkverdin]

This looks great, A+. Can't wait to see what you do with the rest of the world.

[Rygar]

Damn, totally feeling the Middle Earth vibe! And it is nice to see a more 'to scale' representation of where you are. Should I start playing again with any regularity, it may be nice to try and keep this up as a 'overview' to remember where the zone lines / dungeons are in relevance to the zone.

I also must say, I dig the original 'not to scale' maps as well. Something about them screams old school, like a travelling bard with no true cartography skills made a rough sketch of the known world.

All said and done, this is some epic level shit. A+.

EDIT: Oh, one suggestion I have is to remove all the grid lines, think that will bring out a lot of beauty. Not sure if you were leaving on for /loc guidelines... so maybe one with grid lines, 1 without?

[Mblake1981]

City of mist is actually called Torsis?

Lake of Dismay...

Dragons Drool

sound like cool zones that never got made heh

Original EQ map had some of that as well,

The Northlands
The Hatchlands
The Frigid Plain
Waters Deep
Lake Neriuss
Gulk of Gunthak
The Buried Sea
Broken Skull Rock
The Dead Hills
The Nest
Unkempt Woods

Sounds like a good Rogean & Nilbog expansion.. hey its classic! :D

this is badass and i want a poster of it on my wall

[feniin]

Also, there's this. (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/wiki/Sebilisan_Cities)

I would love custom content to make all of those zones a reality. Kunark is so good, shame so much of it was left unfinished.

[Asteria]

TY Lune & others who replied to my query. Sorry if my questions looked snarky or super dumb to anyone lol...didn't mean to be that way if they did. Was just asking out of sheer curiosity/desire to learn. :)

Super awesome & we are all in suspense for the next map(s)! 😉🤘🙌😍

[Muggens]

This looks great, A+. Can't wait to see what you do with the rest of the world.

[TripleLegit]

So cool man, thank you for sharing.

[Raev]

I love all things Iksar and Kunark

We can't be enemies any more.

Looks great; put it on the wiki!

[Vheran]

This is awesome thank you for your hard work

[nostalgic99]

is it just me? I cannot see the velious map that you uploaded...

What is Chalp near Warslik's woods?

Totally forgot about Veksar until I saw this map.

[Cen]

I like your map. It fixes the field of bone and emereld jungle opposite ends of continent thing.

Have you ever experienced heavy snowfall? :)

[Sguchi]

Woah, great job - this is awesome!

^This derserves to be in the map reserve @ www.steveprutz.com/eq/

Would do it myself but since it's not mine, I would feel scummy doing so.

[maskedmelon]

this is neato 👍

[rictus204]

your map looks pretty damn good!

[Nikkanu]

Great work! Very impressed.

[BarackObooma]

Great job!

Could you make an alternate version removing the grid lines and use the commonly used names (like City of Mist instead of Torsis, Evil Outpost instead of Danak, etc.)?

[Lune]

I'm working on an improved version with higher resolution, no (or larger and less opaque) gridlines, and a few features I missed. As far the names, maybe.

[Bellringer]

This is so good. A+

[tycohunden]

City of mist is actually called Torsis?

Lake of Dismay...

Dragons Drool

My wet dream/boner crush is that the devs will make these zones for us instead of the luclin/israeldid911 timeline where all the zones that were cut out are implemented, I'm talking about places like the ones you mention and others like the Looping Plains on faydwer, a place I tried to find on original EQ and died horribly in both Dagnors Cauldron and Ak'Anon!
I know atleast Looping plains was implemented in some later expansion, but as stated, that was in the wrong time line...

Devs here could change the entire game by doing what was right, instead of ruining the game with female writers coming up with a gay ass moon where cat people lick their own assholes, they would expand on the old sweet map, adding the zones the map foretold!

[Malik_Gynax]

Inkarnate is a good tool. I've been using it a lot myself. Nice map.

[Cecily]

Beautiful work, Lune. Thanks for sharing that!

[MuffinCITY]

Super cool! I have the old cloth one from when Kunark came out but the detail in yours is spot on, well done!

[Cen]

I thibk the names are awesome. Id label it like "Torsis, The City of Mist" and Danak, The Outpost.

[ZiggyTheMuss]

Nice work!

[Nagoya]

I'll be super original and say; Absolutely stunning work Lune thank you so much for that map it's wonderful can't wait to see the rest!!! <3

[Jimjam]

Lake of Dismay...

Dragons Drool

They are points of interest in game. Lake of Dismay you will have visited at the end of your shaman epic quest in EJ. Dragon's Drool is the lake in TT.

Awwwww and I thought they where unimplemented zones not just those lakes in EJ and TT... oh well

Not trying to nitpick but just what caught my eye first, great work and no one here deserves this kind of thing.

The official map says Burning Wood so I put that

[rcf5001]

Always bugged me that the cloth maps weren't closer to the actual geography in game. So this is really cool. Great job, can't wait to see more!

Doesn't bug me, matches historical cartography really. How 'bad' they were added a layer of realism, and kept an element of exploration.

[Lojik]

Awesome Job. Can't wait for your map of Karana...I mean Antonica

[Axlrose]

Whoa - I want a cloth map of the "correct" map of Kunark now!

[Evia]

This is top notch quality Lune! Thanks for puting in the work to create it! As others have said I'm looking forward to the rest.

Wow. A+ work!

After a scummy night of White Russians, coke and hookers I woke up with a little burning wood if you know what I mean

It turns out Burnt woods was currently moved to a diferent planet entirely y'all! :O

This week, it's on planet Earth in a mysterious place called "Oregon"
