Old as it is, this map is still far and away my favorite MLP map. Hell, It’s probably my favorite fantasy map, period. It’s so huge and complex and creative, and the names are so beautiful and evocative -- Eternity’s Bridge, the Blinding Veil Sea, the Quiet Sea, Abaddon’s Fury, Peril’s Cusp, the Scorched Lands, Silverline…

I think what I love best is the sense of vastness and complexity this map gives. I can spend hours staring at maps as it is, but with this one… I can just spend hours wondering away to myself: what’s life like in Noveria or Aura? What are the cities in the mountains south of the Broken Leylands like, and who or what lives there? What kinds of strange creatures live in all those islands and seas and lands? Who is buried in the Graveyard of the Forgotten? Who built Eternity’s Bridge? How was it sundered?

At this point I don’t know if you’re ever going to read this, but I just wanted to put this out there. This map has become the gold standard I use for comparing all other fantasy maps or geographical worldbuiling. It is, genuinely, the best of its kind I’ve ever seen, and I can only hope I can someday make something half as amazing as this.
