Greetings! You have found the Athasian Cartographer's Guild, hosted by daegmorgan.net. The site for all material regarding the mapping and exploration of Athas.

The Athasian Cartographers are a guild of freemen whose passion is mapping out the sands of Athas and uncovering the forgotten secrets and histories buried in the wastelands. The guild is beholden to no specific political power, neither Sorcerer King nor Merchant House, though individual members may be funded in their efforts by anyone. It is said that the Wanderer is a member of this organization (if so, perhaps the most famous and widely traveled).

For the moment the archive mostly contains Brian Sanchez's excellent DarkSun maps, though we are hosting a few maps made by others as well. If you would like to join the guild by contributing a map, please contact our guild archivist.

Note that some maps may contradict other maps. The reasons may be many. Perhaps one map is Sorcerer-King propaganda, and another holds the truth; perhaps the map-maker was not as experienced as they believe, allowed their imagination to fill in the blanks, or was misled (or deliberately misleading). To find the truth, you will have to explore our world for yourself.

For those looking for just the maps, clicking on the thumbnail graphic next to the links will pull up a decently sized JPG or PNG made from the PSD files for that region.

Most of you will want the JPG or PNG versions.

For those wanting to alter or expand the existing maps, you will want the Photoshop (PSD) files. You can obtain those by clicking on the section name in the left-hand column. Take note that the PSD versions are very large files meant for production work and high-quality printing: they are multi-layered, 300dpi, and created for Adobe Photoshop, so you will need Photoshop installed to use them. Don't download these if you just want the maps.

Please feel free to download, alter, and share your creations with the rest of the DarkSun community on the message boards at athas.org.

Finally, if you would like to mirror the archive, you notice any problems with the links or files, or you have any questions, please contact the webmaster.
