This map was created by Mark Williams. His design is based exclusively upon the map truest to cannon, which graced eight beautiful pages in the 2nd edition Cyclopedia Talislanta, created by none other than Stephan’s wife Patti. Within the book, directly following the map, you will find an extensive index of descriptions for each and every location marked upon the map. This index is now available in a portable, heavily bookmarked, PDF for your browsing pleasure.

This is the 2nd edition Talislanta World Map, created by none other than SMS’s wife Patti, which appeared in the Cyclopedia Talislanta. Unlike the other maps on this page this map covered eight pages, back to back, and therefore suffers in the quality department. The scan itself is 150 DPI (4287 x 2767) and when all was said and done the file size was small enough, 24.2 MB, that no further steps were taken to downsample or downsize the map.

The standard coin throughout most of Talislanta is the Gold Lumen. This is primarily based on the fact that the Seven Kingdoms helped establish modern trade routes, so their coin became the de facto standard against which other currencies were evaluated. What you see here are the seven varieties of the Lumen, one for each of the Seven Kingdoms. The coin in the upper-left corner is the default face of the coin, which each nation providing a different back.
