Lorenzo’s Specularum

Following on from his first maps of Threshold and Karameikos, Lorenzo next tackled the nation’s capital, Specularum. He painstakingly placed individual building art in Inkarnate to create a wonderful illustrated version of the original GAZ1 map. But in fact he went beyond this, adding in all the labels he could find, and even placing special art for each of these known locations.

In high resolution, it’s an invaluable asset for anyone running a game in Specularum.
