Note: Anchor Points - Section linking WITHIN pages USE [[Help:Section#Section_linking|Section linking]] or To link to a section in the same page you can use [[#section name|displayed text]], and to link to a section in another page [[page name#section name|displayed text]].

Note: Section linking with arbitrary id USE <span id="anchor_name"></span>. Be sure to use a name that is not likely to be duplicated. One way to do this is to incorporate the titles of the higher-level sections, at least in abbreviated form, e.g., Ontario-Natural_features for the "Natural features" subsection of the "Ontario" section of an article about the provinces of Canada.

Atlas Keléstia is an ongoing series of maps, each describing a piece of the world of Kèthîra (also known as HârnWorld) and including an index provides short descriptions of the named locations on the map. Each map is 25 leagues (approx. 125 miles) on a side, or 625 square leagues in area, and shows the area's vegetation and relief along with geographical features, towns, castles, keeps, villages, shrines, mines, peaks and more.

Each map is provided as a layered PDF. The accompanying map index notes are presented as both a PDF document and as an Excel file. A 'flattened' version of the map is also included, as is a key that explains the terrain coloring and the map symbols.

Atlas Keléstia squares are currently only available for locations in the Shôrkýnè (SHKN), southern Ivínia (IVAE) and northern Tríerzòn (TRZN) regions. The map below shows the grids for those areas. Click on any highlighted square to learn more about and to order a detailed map of that square, or see the complete list of Atlas Keléstia issues.

• AREAs
  • Chélemby, Emélrenè, Ivínia, Hârbáal, Lédenheim, Shôrkýnè, Tríerzòn

Note: ADD a list of all Kingdoms for the area map.

Discounted Map Bundles

From time-to-time, we may collect several Atlas Keléstia issues together and release them at a discounted price. The following such bundles are currently available:

Contiguous Area Folios

• Folio 1: Chélemby, Géltheim & Ánvâl
• Folio 2: Lédenheim, Western Huriséa & Tîrgólis

Annual Collections

• 2011 Annual Bundle (Issues #1-14)
• 2012 Annual Bundle (Issues #15-30)
• 2013 Annual Bundle (Issues #41-44)

Printing Notes

The maps are 20cm square. This means that on a sheet of U.S. letter-size paper (we recommend light cardstock), the map pages should have 8mm (5/16 inch) margins at left and right. On A4 paper, this should leave 5mm on each side.

If your printer cannot print this close to the edges of the page, you might want to consider the 'fit to page' option; this will reduce the size and scale of the map slightly but the quality of the print should be just as good.

Please note that inkjet printers especially are not particularly economical (and there is nothing anyone can do to make them economical) when it comes to printing highly 'saturated' pages, like these maps. The non-map pages may be printed in black and white if desired.

To update

Possible Link

See also Map Layers for Illustrators Mapping Layers.

Modify each Atlas Hârnica Map (ie. [E8]) with a listing of every element, Settlements, Vegetation, Roads, Contours, Rivers, Streams, etc. with all the names within a big table just like Kandáy Settlement Index and/or Kandáy Subinfeudation that will show each and every Maps Element. These can then be cross referenced and linked.

ADD

The full-color maps of Hârn provide a vast amount of information, showing vegetation and topography, rivers and stream, roads and trails, towns and villages, and mines and quarries. The hex grid helps the plotting of movement and distance, while the numbered and lettered square grid is a handy reference to locate features described in the many HârnWorld articles.

Vegetation

The regional map has seven principal vegetation classes. Each is identified on the map key.

Ice, Snow, Rockfield: Permanent mountain snowpack, precipitous rocky cliffs, and the like. Nothing grows here because the land is either snowbound or barren.

Alpine Vegetation: Found only in mountains, between the treeline and snowcap. Soil moisture is frozen (permafrost) except during summer, when the top two or three feet thaws. The frozen ground prevents the drainage of melt water, causing marshy conditions in early summer. Permafrost promotes an essentially treeless region covered with short-rooted plants, sedges, grasses, mosses, and lichens. In midsummer, some plants flower for a few weeks, providing a carpet of color (alpine meadow).

Needleleaf Forest: Forest of tall, straight-trunked, cone-shaped trees with small needle-like leaves (mostly evergreen). Needleleaf forest occurs on Hârn in the highlands above 3,000 feet and in Orbaal. Due to the yearround shade, undergrowth tends to be sparse; since it occurs mostly in mountainous areas, travel can still be difficult. Major tree species include Orbaalese Spruce, Sorkin Pine, Kom Cedar, and Northern Fir.

Mixed Forest: Forests containing needleleaf evergreens, needleleaf deciduous, or summergreen deciduous trees, two of which must be present. Needleleaf deciduous trees are similar to their evergreen cousins but shed their leaves in winter. There are only two such species on Hârn, the Golden Larch and Katha Birch. Broadleaf trees tend to have short to medium stubby trunks, a few long branches, and a generous canopy of deciduous leaves that provide good shade in summer but shed completely in winter. There are some 120 different species of broadleaf on Hârn; the most common types are Hârnic Oak, Shava Maple, Solora Elm, and Western Ash.

Woodland: Areas with a tree canopy between 15% and 50% are considered woodland. Such areas contain mainly summergreen deciduous trees growing in clumps or copses interspersed with open grassy areas. The open areas may be natural, fire induced, or the result of human or animal intervention. Note: Hârn’s climate makes extensive natural prairie grassland impossible.

Heath: Sometimes called moor, heathland is found along windward margins when a combination of poor soils and high winds exist. Heathland is mainly treeless although a few stunted birches, willows, and various large shrubs can be found. The dominant vegetation is a dense layer of sturdy low-lying plants such as heather. Poor drainage creates bogs in low-lying areas.

Cropland and Pasture: Found mainly around all Hârnic settlements. Only about 40% of the land will actually be under cultivation. The balance will be pasture and the odd stand of trees.

Topography

Marshland: Swampy terrain can occur anywhere there is poor drainage. Marshland should not be thought of as impenetrable swamp, but it is likely to contain deep bogs, quicksands, etc.

Reefs: Shoals or rocks definitely hazardous to seafarers. No distinction is made on the map between salt and fresh water; there are no salt lakes on Hârn.

Rivers: The rivers shown are sufficiently deep (10’–20’) to be navigable. They are fordable only at marked fords and only then when the weather has been reasonably dry over the last few days. There may be dozens of smaller streams in each hex not shown; these will occasionally dry up or swell to the size of a river. Waterfalls and rapids are indicated by blue slashes.

Roads and Trails: Paved roads are “all weather” and quite rare on Hârn. Unpaved roads are always muddy when it rains. Most trails shown are those that even a tenderfoot would have difficulty wandering off. Not shown are many of the thousands of game paths and other minor trails that crisscross Hârn.

LOCAL MAPS

Local maps cover small areas of special interest, such as villages, towns, or ruins. They show buildings and other details. GM Local Maps have the important details keyed and explained. On Player Local Maps, the numbers and other details are excluded. The amount of detail shown is roughly equivalent to what could be perceived by an observer at the location. Whenever PCs are at the site, the player local map may be laid out in plain view. Players may keep their own version as a memory map to record what they discover.

INTERIOR MAPS

Interior plans show the inside of castles, keeps, taverns, temples, caverns, and other small areas. They include details such as the types and arrangement of furniture, doors, walls, stairs, etc. They may also be used to detail small outdoor areas. The scale is 1 mm = 1 foot. Interior plans are intended for use by GMs. They should be kept secret from the players, as they show details players are supposed to discover through exploration.

Canon Complete Maps

Note: Put into a Table so that they can be sorted by region, Country, etc.
