#map of oz

[witchesoz]

So I borrowed from my local library a book for my studies "Dictionary of imaginary places" (Dictionnaire des lieux imaginaires in French), written by Alberto Manguel and Gianni Guadalupi. And turns out it has a full map of "Oz and the neighboring lands"! I'll try to snap details here and there as it seems this map was drawn specifically for the book and is not found anywhere else.

Obviously, Dorothy didn't wear the exact same dress for her entire stay in Oz. She was there for roughly two months!

Nonestica is often the name given to the continent where Oz is located. A map first appeared in the 8th book, Tik-Tok of Oz. Many of the surrounding countries are from some of Baum's other non-Oz books. For instance, the forest of Burzee on the lower left is from The Life & Adventures of Santa Claus.

Now, this is a low resolution image, but if you're very clever, you may not have needed to read the compass rose to notice that east and west are reversed. Even people who have only ever seen the 1939 movie know the witch of the EAST enslaved the Munchkins and the witch of the WEST enslaved the Winkies.

Dick Martin and James Hoff later came up with an expanded version of the map that "corrected" the directions:

A lot of people like this one and I'm not an exception, but it wouldn't hurt to make the surrounding areas a little bigger.

Now, Robert A. Heinlein (yes, that Robert A. Heinlein) once proposed that the compass in the first map is flipped because Oz is on planet with a retrograde rotation. I love that explanation. It's canon to Yellow Brick Ramble.

So, I based the planet of Nonestica on all three of these interpretations with some tweaks of my own. I included a few other continents. One of them is called Tazara. I doubt all the lands on this planet are magical, as Oz is a special land. I did a little math and I'm guessing Oz is roughly 4 times the size of Kansas?

The planet of Earth, on the other hand, is one most of you are familiar with.

Wait i just realized that Motm is kinda like the Wizard of Oz:

The main characters, who are from earth, accidentally end up in a different dimension from a storm portal and are trying to get home.

They find themselves in a position where they have to defeat the main villain in order to get home.

The main characters realize at the end that they had what they were looking for all along.

Actually... you can say that about a lot of different pieces of media XD

Doing a little reading on Wizard of Oz -- apparently Baum wanted his fairy tale to avoid the "stereotyped genie, dwarf, and fairy". Funny thing for him to say, since the Good Witch is a fairy godmother and the Munchkins are dwarves and the Wizard himself seems to be a genie? offering to grant wishes as he does. The conman who plays the Wizard was even wearing a turban earlier in the film version, as he performed his palm reading for Dorothy. I wonder if that big green head was a supposed to be the contours of the turban converted to skin...

How I think the Baldur’s Gate Companions would fare at the airport

Gale: In true papa fashion, he’s making sure everyone is on the way to the airport 3 hours early, he’s got an itinerary, map, and translation guide locked and loaded.

Astarion: absolutely fucking up some margaritas at the airport chili’s. Flirts with flight attendant to move to first class (this does not work). Argues with TSA agent bc what idiot would hide a bomb in a 16 oz blood bag?

Karlach: HATES flying bc she’s so tall, yet is totally unwilling to shill out first class tickets. She only packs carry on and stands up once the plane lands no matter where she’s seated. Very chatty when seated next to strangers.

Lae’zel: Has her pilot’s license, but tags along cause she doesn’t want these imbeciles in her plane. Packs minimally and doesn’t even bring any entertainment, simply raw dog’s the entire flight by peering out the window seat and reflecting.

Wyll: Practiced flyer, has his travel plans down to a T. Business class, neck pillow, fully charged kindle, the sleekest luggage you’ve ever seen. Probably the most fashionable person in the airport without even trying.

Shadowheart: Terrified of flying, hates every step of the process. Disgruntled and smelly from nerves by the time the flight lands. But she does enjoy her little in flight snacks.

Halsin: Has a moral opposition against flying, he’s rather leave 3 days early for a road trip and elect to pick up the crew at the airport. When he finally caves and takes a flight he’s moved to tears by the majesty of the land from the sky.

Jaheira: She’s in the lounge, somehow knows all the pilots. She loves an in flight ginger ale, is moved to first class just because the flight attendant owes her a favor.
