The Drenai world
has become very large and developed over the course of the nine
novels. Here, we have an attempt to sort out some of that world
and make a map!
Drenai World
Map 1.5- (20/09/01)
Version 1.5,
as I now call it, has had the mountains of the moon added. Hum,
maybe, maybe not...
Notes....
Ok, the lands
of Vagria and Gothir are still in question. As there have never
been any real good descriptions of the Vagrian lands, it is really
hard to shape the land. I think that I have not given the Gothir
people enough land to the north, and this will be revised with the
second drawing of the map.
Skulitik forest
is described as 1000's of squre miles in Waylander. I am not sure
that I have the area it covers in this map shown enough. I believe
that I have placed too much distance between the end of the Skeln
mountains and Dros Purdol. I believe that there is less of a gap.
Ventria!!! Placing
this country is easy, it is in the east. However, is it connected
to the Drenai lands? I can't say. In The First Cronicles of Druss
the Legend, it mentioned a farmer that moved from the Sentran Plain
to the Ventrian Border. Being a Drenai farmer, I don't recon that
they would stray too far form Drenai lands, especially as they moved
to the Skoda mountains after their farm failed. Also in Waylander,
the Legon riders under Gellan reconned that they could head north
through Delnoch and then head east to the lands of Ventria. So from
those few quotes, it seems that the border with the Drenai lands
and the Ventrian lands does infact exist, or there is a selection
of "nomad" lands inbetween. ????!!!!
As always, comments
and queries welcome. phil@drenai.com

Other Drenai
Maps
Other people
on the internet have also created Drenai maps. I have only found
two sites which include a good map of the Drenai world. The two
have been linked below to their respective sites. I must say that
I do not agree with some of the placing of cities and features.
However, I am not slating the maps or saying they are wrong. Over
my investigation of the books, I have come across several differences
between descriptions of areas. Because of this, I have put together
a database of quotes from the books. They show different references
to the features of the world, and so, if questioned about the map,
or history of the world I am compiling, I can referer to the books
themselves easily!
Many thanks
to Eric Davis for allowing me to show his map on this site.

Dale Rippke has also put together a map of the drenai
world, available here.
