The Map of Duchies

Unread postby Angelspit » 03 Mar 2008, 16:46

A map of the various Duchies of Ashan (from the Heroes of Might and Magic Complete art book) that should be of interest to all the lore fanatics out there. Thanks evilp.

Nice map and heralds. Now, if there was only a text that talks about thiese noble houses... and something about nobility of other factions as well.

Duncan to the Stag Duchy, and Quroq had a nice trip in Raven Duchy, if I'm correct. Is there anywhere a map, which shows the cities of the Griffin/Unicorn Empire?

I like the colours, but otherwise it seems pretty random to me.

Well, most fantasy maps are made by tossing randomly mountains, forests, lakes and rivers near each other. Like Forgotten Realms.

The map seems kind of bland, but the duchy symbols are very good, especially the Griffin and Wolf duchies.
I maintain nonetheless that yin-yang dualism can be overcome. With sufficient enlightenment we can give substance to any distinction: mind without body, north without south, pleasure without pain. Remember, enlightenment is a function of willpower, not of physical strength.
