Håvard’s Sylvan Realm

This map is typical of Håvard’s evolving style, turning older maps into attractive modern-looking takes on those areas. In this case, the subject was CM7’s Sylvan Realm.

All in all, it’s a pretty faithful rendering of the original map. Aside from the art style, the main addition is new place names based on encounters from the module. Thus, the lake where undine could be found is now Undine Lake, and so on. It’s a smart way to add to the map while at the same time providing a nod to the original module.

Later, in 2015, Robert Nuttman adapted Håvard’s map to create a historical map of the area.
