Full map of Exandria, 2025 update!

Hi again everyone! It's been another year, and with Campaign 4 taking us to another world, I thought it was time to release another update to my definitive map of Exandria!

Linked below is a download file, which includes both high and standard resolution .pngs and well as the low res .jpeg that you see in this post. Also includes the Wonderdraft map file, for anyone who wants to take this map and modify it for themselves!

High-resolution map images and Wonderdraft file download:

Only a few changes have been made to my map in the last year, summarized below:

Added Seedfeld from The Re-Slayer's Take to Demithore Valley.

Added Port Callivon and Gremidash mentioned by Raishan in The Legend of Vox Machina to Mornset Countryside.

Added Torm's Hill and Snowgrave pass from ExU: Divergence to Mornset Countryside; added unofficial roads connecting Torm's Hill to Bronbog.

Added Seagate from ExU: Divergence to Othanzia.

Added village of Lichenvel from Vox Machina: Stories Untold to Menagerie Coast

Added village of Vashlow mentioned by K'ryyn in Critical Role Campaign 1 to Menagerie Coast

Added island of Evaterena and the village of Yutazo from Tag Team at the Teeth to the Shattered Teeth.

Once again I want to give special thanks to Don Farland for his original fan map of Exandria, created all the way before the release of Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, upon which I originally based my map of the Shattered Teeth, to Niko Vanhala for his fan-made maps of Marquet and Issylra, upon which I have loosely based my maps of those continents. And of course another thank you to Andy Law and Deven Rue for the official cartography of Exandria!

Morbidly fascinated that any time someone talks about Imogen and Laudna as a ship in any other way than by effusing how good and pure and loving they are, people will come crawling out of the woodwork going 'oh so you think they're toxic? you think they're unhealthy and abusive?? you hate lesbians???' as if they’ve uncovered a devilish smear campaign spread by bigots.

And this is hilarious because most of the people I saw actually critiquing the ship not only adored many other f/f ships, they also explicitly got more interested in Imogen and Laudna as a pairing when they leaned harder into their darker aspects (such as after bor'dor's death and swordgate). The whole appeal of them (and I do like the pairing!) is that they're kind of unhealthily co-dependent and teetering on the edge of a joint corruption arc for the longest time. Laudna repeatedly stood by being perfectly happy letting Imogen join the vanguard if it came to it, and Imogen didn't put her foot down about Laudna nearly giving in to Delilah until it was nearly too late. They were so scared of losing each other that they avoided going into any conflict or question each other.

The actual critique, rather, was that they never fully leaned in to it. They’d play with the concept but then turn right back around. There was rarely any real acknowledgment that them indulging each other’s vices held them back, which in turn led to many fans viewing them as sweetness and roses because no one wanted to acknowledge the thorns. And if you did talk about the thorns, whether to critique them or because you enjoyed and wanted to see more of them, well, clearly you were just a hater.
