I'm using the map on the 2e Game Master screen because that's the one I physically own.

If you have time and want to spend the effort, I do have a collection of maps here:

I was sick and tired of having to constantly surf through dozens of sources to look at the metric ton of different maps as references in Warhammer, so I decided to compile them all in one place. Hope it benefits you guys as well to get some visualisation. A reminder that these maps are not officially approved unless Boney says so.

While I'm trying to post some of the more recent, updated and relevant maps, there's a bunch of stuff that changes with different iterations of the map and so many inconsistencies to sift through, it's a real headache. The Sylvania maps in particular shouldn't be taken at face value. That being said, there's tons of useful information if you know what to look for. Brace for a lot of Spoiler bars:

The following are fanmade maps that Boney uses from a website called Winds of Chaos:

I didn't know there was a 20 image limit to SV posts until I made this post.

Some of them aren't the best quality I know, but it's the best I could do.

Yeah, I have had a look at those, but I found it tricky to line things up properly through my laptop screen, so I dug out my physical one and a ruler and one of those math triangle thingies (I couldn't find the semi-circle one) and did it by hand.

"Soul-stuff". Very academic of you Mathilde. Perhaps the College should take a gander at finding a term to describe what a vital part of their whole curriculum represents.

Consider that the empire is quite heavily german coded, even in academics lots of our nouns are sumply (descriptor)stuff.

For example, a "airplane", translates to "Flugzeug", which literally translates to "fly-thing".
Or "Hydrogen", translates to "Wasserstoff", which literally translates to "water-stuff".

2) Drakenhof is NOT south of Mordheim, as I previously assumed. What is south, however, is the Haunted Hills and if you travel further south you get Karak Varn AKA the Skaven hold of Cragmere.

Drakenhof does appear to be directly southeast of Mordheim, however. Cadaeth did mention that while leylines flow most easily along the cardinal directions, they also flow along the ordinal directions reasonably well, and we do have at least one example of a leyline connecting two points by an ordinal rather than cardinal line.
Boney said:
"Energy flows along the cardinal directions are easiest to maintain," Cadaeth says. "And ordinal ones, to a lesser extent."

The Tower of Se-Athil," you say, and Cadaeth nods, while most of the others exchange confused looks. Tor Lithanel is directly southeast of the Tower of Se-Athil, you're now sure of it

Ah, I overlooked that. Probably because I'm used to calling the ordinal directions "intercardinals".

A semi-circle one is a protractor.

I think the other one is just called a right-angle?

"Maybe that's why I was sent. If it was an older Witch, they wouldn't be able to help themselves, would keep trying to out-Witch her.

This sounds both hysterical and like a natural way to balance the high side of the dice. Big numbers, big egos.
Boney said:
He seems to relax. "Oh, that. Yes, some of our people in larger towns disguise some aspects of their worship, and those half-truths have grown into almost separate faiths as outsiders see their success and attribute it to what they know of their God. Lady of the Hunt in the west, Patroness of Childbirth in the south, God of Journeys in the east. It rubs some of the hidebound the wrong way, but nobody can deny how useful it can be to have allies outside the Forest."

Eyyy, looks like the hedgewise tour is still on! That'll be fun whenever we get the time for it.

I like Eike.

She's really been flexing Cython for street cred as of late. She really should start paying them royalties for all the influence they indirectly provide her.

Naaaah, Cython expects that anyone who is gifted with the honor of their presence and wisdom would brag about it to all they meet (or perhaps to hoard all the knowledge to themselves) as a natural consequence of just how awesome they are. :V

"Forgettable: People can't seem to remember your face. Characters who've met you must succeed on an Intelligence Test to recall who you are."

I suppose it's possible to interpret that as 'if they fail an Intelligence Test then they lose every memory they have of you', but it really doesn't seem like that's the intended meaning to me.

Yeah, definitely agree. Since it's an Intelligence Test rather than a Willpower Test, I would read that as "people automatically forget your face" but if they think fast they can recognize you from "other details such as voice, gait, hair etc." like Aule alluded to.

The promotion to full Ice Witch, of course, comes with the revelation that in reality the Ancient Widow fucks.
