My next major woodburning project is to try my hand at the maps of the continent, Travance, and the Proper. I noticed, though, that the provided map of the latter is obviously out of date. Therefore, I prevail upon veteran players for the following:

* What areas on all three maps are KNOWN to be incorrect according to current roleplay and/or camp conditions? (Such as the Monastery is now the Adventurer's Guild.)
* What areas on all three maps need new information? (Such as the location of port-a-johns and bath houses.)
* If these are displayed in the Inn, what is most useful to add that might not be covered by the other two questions?

Main: Grigori the grumpy healer, adopted member of the Tribe of Berk, adviser to Chief Darius Redmaw.
Alt: Dorian White, physician and alchemist for hire.
Alt: Ruy Sanchez de Castor y Ortiz, the best swordsman in all of Coast Haven!

TRAVANCE PROPER
Building Changes
Winterdark is now The Baron's Manor
The Baron's Manor is now The Guard's Barracks
The Monastary is now The Adventurer's Guild Hall

I believe The Bloody Stump is now The Djinn and Tonic(This one someone needs to confirm)

Bathhouses/Bathrooms
The building between Kaladonia and the Mage's Guild is a Bathhouse(There are showers as well as toilets)
The unmarked building by "Winterdark" is a bathroom(I don't know if there are showers or not in this one)
The two unmarked buildings on the lower right can stay unmarked, they are the Rangers house and a Storage Barn, neither are in game

Other
The open "field"(closest the Rangers house and Storage Barn) in the lower right is the parking lot
The "latrine"(circle with the L) that is near the maze is no longer there
The "Travancian Graveyard" is in the trees just after the latrine marker
The "Palisades" is just after(I think) the latrine marker

The rest of the map is correct, though if you wanted to change Gypsy Caravan to Argenti Caravan, I don't think many would mind.

Hope this helps!

Winterdark is now The Baron's Manor


I've only been inside this building twice, but from the decorations it seems to still be associated with Winterdark rather than the Baron of Travance.

I believe The Bloody Stump is now The Djinn and Tonic(This one someone needs to confirm)


I can confirm that one myself.

The open "field"(closest the Rangers house and Storage Barn) in the lower right is the parking lot


I'm probably going to label that one "Stables and pasture," but am open to other terms. Sadly, "Caravans" is already taken.

The "Palisades" is just after(I think) the latrine marker


What is that? I have a DR friend who's coming to KR in October, and she said something about a gate over there; is that the same thing?

Hope this helps!


It does, thank you.

There is a closer-knit relationship between the Count and the Baron than there is between the Baron and His Grace's interior decorator. ;)

Yes, it's the giant wooden gate/fence where main mod is sometimes held.

The bathhouse near the Manor does indeed have shower stalls.

Talk to Joe Glaser, aka Arradir. He's been working extensively on updating the maps, so he likely has the most comprehensive update you can get.

I've not been able to find anyone with more current information than those who have already replied to this thread. Short of bothering James again, is there anyone else I could ask?

Depends on the size and scale you desire, as well as what area it encompasses. I have a set of five maps, IG and with good detail. Stop by Pendarvin anytime during or before the November Event and take a look
