Yanth Cartography
The map above by Gus L of The Dungeon of Signs is of the Country of Yanth in the Land of Azurth. Gus has faithfully reproduced the style of the Orrey Blundur, Royal Cartographer to King Cyan of Azurth. As is custom following the Bichromatic Compromise, the Country of Yanth is colored yellow. Mundy was a practitioner of artistic cartography, favoring a aesthetically pleasing arrangement of feature over accurate representation. The geography of Azurth has never been quite as settled as it is in other lands, so this is perhaps not as great a failing as it might seem.
Blundur is rumored to have disappeared into a trap street he inserted into a map of the Sapphire City the week before, then subsequently discovered in the real world.

Very cool map. The Yellow Country. Yeah.
Excellent map.
I love this to death. No not literally.
Thanks guys. @Chris - Good to know.
Just glad I got the colors right, a happy accident by the way.
I like the way Gus' yellow filtering makes the details "pop."
It's brilliant looking in more ways than one!
