EDIT: This post is slightly outdated, but the download link will still lead to the new 2025 version of this map! My new post about it is here!
Hi everyone! It's been about 4 years since my last map. In that time more of Exandria has revealed itself to us, and while it is still not a complete picture, we now have enough that I felt it was time to make an update.
The biggest change from my previous map is that I am no longer using the Elven Tower Cartography assets. This is because previously I installed them incorrectly, in a way that meant that people who downloaded the map file were unable to see the assets unless they installed it in the same weird way that I did. Rather than fixing this, I instead opted to use the default Wonderdraft assets, that way it can be viewed out of the box without having to download something else first!
As before, Tal'Dorei and Wildemount are the most accurate to official maps, and we also have an official map of at least one arrangement of the Shattered Teeth, which is re-created here. We have a portion of Marquet via the Oderan Wilds and Hellcatch Valley maps, but the rest, including all of Issylra is still mostly made up, based loosely on a very old and tiny map briefly shown on screen by Sam in episode 103 of Campaign 1! Naturally when any new maps come out, this map will (eventually) be updated to reflect them.
There are some locations that are new to this map as well, such as the Demithore Valley in Issylra from Campaign 3 and all the towns visited in The Re-Slayer's Take up to episode 10, these being Himblewood, Josgren's Hollow, Shoresight Isle, and the Hug Hive. Ta'Dorei has a few new towns, Mooren and Heldenfaire, which were mentioned in Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn, as well as a few unnamed village clusters, the Foramere and Vues'dal villages. For these and the Mornset Countryside I included some non-canonical paths connecting them to the main roadways. Also included in Mornset is Roch Mar, the village that Vox Moronica visited all the way back in Episode 12 of Campaign 1, before Critical Role even did separate numbering for one-shots and thus included this unrelated episode in the campaign. This town isn't officially confirmed to actually exist in Exandria, so consider it my headcanon and a paper town. Moving on to Wildemount, Vo Village got upgraded to proper town status, and I've also included Yardel from The Nine Eyes of Lucien, Ghostwall from The Tales of Exandria: The Bright Queen, and Galgarad from the Dark Star adventure on DnDBeyond!
I want to give a special thanks to Don Farland for his original fan map of Exandria, created all the way before the release of Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, upon which I originally based my map of the Shattered Teeth. Incidentally, I believe that this depiction of those islands was the basis upon which the official map by Andy Law is based upon. I would also like to thank Niko Vanhala for his fan-made maps of Marquet and Issylra, upon which I have loosely based my maps of those continents. And of course thank you to Andy Law and Deven Rue for the official cartography of Exandria!

“Where are you, right now?”
“I’m–” a huff of laughter, like Dream can’t believe this is happening. Well, make that two of them. “I’m in my favorite chair, I still have the book I was reading to you on my lap.”
Hob hums, picturing it; Dream curled up, feet on the plush cushion, knees bent up and falling sideways against the arm of the chair. He hears the dull thump of the book’s hardcover closing.
“Well, I’m in bed…” Hob swallows down his nerves, lifting his arm to beckon into the low light his bedside lamp gives off, as if Dream is merely across the room. “You should join me.”
Pyrah, Issylra: Pyrah is the home village of the Fire Ashari, although there is also a substantial population at Flamereach Outpost. It is in the Cindergrove, a volcano and petrified forest in Othanzia. Keyleth visited with Vox Machina as part of her Aramenté, and they later returned to investigate the destruction caused by Thordak’s emergence onto the Material Plane.

Molaesmyr, Wildemount: Molaesmyr was an elven city destroyed during a disaster in 585PD. It is located in the corrupted woodlands of the Savalirwood, formerly known as Veluthil Forest. When Bells Hells were separated during the Apogee Solstice of 843, “Team Wildemount" visited the ruins to investigate the history of Ludinus Da'leth.

Genuinely just curious as I can’t make my own mind up between the chaos of TW vs the more serious (yet also hilarious) tone of TI (this isn’t necessarily even about the casts/characters, I’m just torn between the tones of each)
Just wanna let y’all know that if we ever get an Issylra campaign guide of any kind I will go feral.
We know so little about it and I need to know more. I need it.
Issylra, my mysterious beloved. What is out there, outside of Vasselheim, outside of Othanzia? What are the other civilizations that live in the untamed wilderness of Issylra?
It’s 2:30 am, I’m tired, and I’m thinking about Issylra.
as I'm sure you know, "the" throws up a lot of hits in chapter 11, so I'm going to offer you the first one, the last one, and my favourite one.
"But he gets on with his research day, taking the endless fucking Tube ride to the National Archives, sending Dream a couple pictures of particularly manky manuscripts about alehouse brawls."
"He wants to live forever in the brilliant light of Dream’s wonder as he comes with his boyfriend’s name on his lips."
"He proceeds to finger Dream until he’s arching off the cushions, head draped over the sofa arm, making the prettiest little sounds."
thanks, love!
Send me a word, if it’s in my wip document I’ll answer your ask with the sentence that it appears in
