We are currently working on the maps of the Empire, and just wanted to give you a preview, let you know how we're planning to proceed and head off a few questions at the pass.

We are working on the following maps:
+
<span4>
* A more detailed map of Empire, showing territories, towns, cities, river and forest names, roads, Trods, and Interesting Places.
+
{{ThreeColIconImage|file=Map-tactical-ic-watercolour-small.jpg|link=Map - Coloured Territories|caption=Coloured Territories}}
* A more expansive map, showing barbarian lands around the Empire.
+
</span4>
* A strategic campaign map of each nation and its surrounds, showing even more detailed information, that will become much more relevant as campaign rules are released.
+
 
 +
</row-fluid>
  
While we can't nail dates to any of those, the first will be relatively soon, the second a bit further away, and the strategic map is probably a couple of months away before it's all nailed down.

+
Important note, control of territories and even regional keywords can change from event to event. Please try to make sure you are using the most recent version of the map that is available. There is no guarantee that the maps will be updated every event.
  
We will be providing major cities, towns and Interesting Places as a starting point, and will be looking at a mechanism (almost certainly via the New Player Team) to work out how we can ensure player groups can be connected to those locations (or even 'own' smaller ones).
+
The [[Gazetteer]] tells you all about the places on the map while the [[Pronunciation guide]] tells you how they're said.
  
In coming up with new places for your background, the rule of thumb, really, is 'would it be widely known about'? If it would, it's best to avoid it. Hopefully we'll be providing you with a dense enough network of biggish places for you to refer to already, without the need to crowd our maps with more.

Alongside the above, you can take a look at [http://larp.me.uk/PD/empire/map/ Nicholas Avenell's wonderful zoomable Google version of the Empire Map].
  
Therefore we're happy for people to come up with small hamlets, small settlements or steadings, points of interest such as hidden waterfalls or caves, sheltered valleys and the like. Anything bigger is unlikely to fit in.

Also, Racheet Dave has now produced [http://empire.racheet.me/ a cool dynamic map] so you can study the Empire territory by territory.

Maps by Daisy Abbott.

Important note, control of territories and even regional keywords can change from event to event. Please try to make sure you are using the most recent version of the map that is available. There is no guarantee that the maps will be updated every event.

The Gazetteer tells you all about the places on the map while the Pronunciation guide tells you how they're said.

Alongside the above, you can take a look at Nicholas Avenell's wonderful zoomable Google version of the Empire Map.

Also, Racheet Dave has now produced a cool dynamic map so you can study the Empire territory by territory.
