Map of World of Enroth (or C.O.L.O.N.Y.)

The role-playing games (I-X) that started it all and the various spin-offs (including Dark Messiah).

Well, there's Regna, and the Dagger Wound Islands. Might be some more islands to the south of Regna, though.

I've always imagined Jadame as being rather small, since we hear so little about it. Hmm.

The problem is, that Regnan Islands starts 200 miles to East of Enroth. Regna and Dagger Wound Islands are much, much futher. Besides you have these "petty kingdoms and tribes" on them. Ifen when we count Bootlag Bay islands, Karigor and MM8 islands, that still seems to be much lower number then suggested by these texts.
Also, sir Christian moved from one of such archipelagoes and kingdoms to other with each map and ended eventually near western coast of Antagarich.

Looking good, Katarn. I'll review it later for accuracy, but on first glance, it looks well off! I've updated the main post with it, so it is easier to find.

As for the islands, it is definitely suggested that there are many many more.

Cheers,

Map of the World of Enroth Revised

That's very nice of you, thanks!

I've replaced the old map with a new, revised version. Many, many landmarks were added, lands were revamped to fit more closely to their in-game visage, there was some continents and islands rearranging and more. Endless Ocean is less endless now, but judging from the MM6 intro, there's not so much space between the continents.

What caught my attention were enrothian roads. As for the one leading to Agar's laboratory through a frozen wasteland, it's a bit of a stretch, I guess. But who knows, maybe someone was attending to it, so it's not hidden beneath the snow. On the other hand, road leading to Abdul's desert resort straight through the Dragonsands was too much and I've decided to not place it on a map. As those roads are pre-silence, the desert part would have to survive the Day of Fire, years of abandonment and tons of sand. When you come to think of it, from what exactly the Ancients produced them ;)?

I've added more towns, especially on Antagarich, they were mostly taken from non-randomized town names found in H3 campaigns.

There's a region added on Enroth which placement concerns me and the fact that the whole continent is apparently re-imagined between H2 and MM6 doesn't help either ;). Carator Mountains were placed to the south of Free Haven, close to Darkmoor. As they were supposed to be south from the initial battles of the Succesion Wars and in some distance from the dwarven domain, it seemed to be the best location for them.

Yep, there's no doubt there should be a lot more islands here and there on the Endless Ocean, yet we know virtually nothing about their exact location, shape and name. I've decided to add only those islands about which we have at least symbolical knowledge. Thanks to that the map is, hopefully, venturing less into the fanon territory ;).

So, here's the revised map:

If you don't want to draw the islands, you could add a black blob around Karigor and label it "Here be dragons" ;)

Nice looking map! i don't really know what it presents x) but somehow it makes me want some coffee... but well stitched... i don't really much follow storylines in games...
but i'm come to conclusion that there must been eclipse in this game.... hmmm.... must been cloudy day cause i havent seen it... usually i just watch those cutscenes and intros that im bit hang of whats happening there...
i liked this old maps they have own kind of awesomeness in it... i never played this old M&M games but i see people selling this on yard sales sometimes maybe i need to pick one with me just for fun x)...
hmmm... someday Avonu understands all the wisdom of Slayer of Cliffracers and joins hes clan of Cliffracers x)

You'd think Darkmoor was a ghost town, but instead there's plenty of life among the dead.

Hey, Markon! I like it quite a lot. I have updated the main post with it. Though I am pretty sure somewhere it says that Enroth is the largest continent of them all...

I appreciate everyone's hard work in creating these maps.

When I made the map, I had the hope that someone would also make their own version, having done the same work on known information. But no. Almost six years have passed.
Therefore, I am announcing my new version of the map. This time with the participation of a familiar geologist.
And if I also step on the throat of my laziness, and then I also gather a team, then this new version of the map will become the basis for one project))

In the meantime, here are two maps for mods (HoTA and H3SW) based on my first version.

Your map is really cool, I have some geographer friends in the faculty of natural sciences who think it is too! I have some ideas and it is possible that I will use your material (with your permission) for my own ideas.
It would take years of study to put something like this together, and to be honest I'm not really in the mood. :)

Oh thanks)
But my acquaintances geologists, on the contrary, swore a lot.
Of course, maps can be used.

Always glad to see an update. I've made the edit to the opening post for better visibility.

Happy to see the fan work continues 25 years later. I will continue to maintain this thread for any updates for the benefit of any fan project that may want to build on our work. Also, who knows, maybe an Ubisoft Shanghai employee will stumble across these maps when they eventually decide to remaster the games :)

Really happy to find so many people still dedicated to the MM universe. I been on and off playing these games since I was like 8 and have become increasingly invested in the lore of the games. I really wish Van Cannegham had continued exploring COLONY instead of blowing it up and then eventually lose it all to Ubisoft. There are so much untouched possibility and new HoMM and MM games could have incorporated missing lore and explored places like Vori and Kaligor and Jadame a lot more.

That also makes me really excited about the days of reckoning mod coming sometime in the future
