A map can be such a great way to ground a story, and I’m so happy with how @tallshepherd.com crafted the one for The Edan Trilogy.
The map I created for the wonderful @philipchase90.bsky.social and his special edition released via the @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social, this was an upgraded version of an earlier map I put together when Philip first released his epic trilogy!
