Here's a map of Middle Earth. Those of you who are big fans might know the difference between different ages, I don't, but please share, as I'd like to. This map is from the 3rd Age. I added Helm's Deep and Rohan, which were both absent from the map.

There are three sizes: large, medium, and small.

The large is humongous, be prepared : http://forums.escapepod.net/ME/ME_large.gif

The medium is a little smaller: http://forums.escapepod.net/ME/ME_med.gif

And the small will show you the entire thing: http://forums.escapepod.net/ME/ME_small.gif

I think it should be pointed out this map doesn't necessarily show all of Middle Earth. If you've read the Silmarillion an entirely different map is used, so one shouldn't limit themselves just to this map while RPing.

Taehun, the only problem with that is that Simarillion was the First Age and that whole part of Middle Earth now lies under the Sea - taking GS's description of the time period of the RP which would put us in the Third Age... I know I need to get my nose out of Tolkien but... well I can't help it his stuff's addicting....

Oh yeah...that's right. My bad, for some reason I was only thinking that Numenor had sunk under the sea.

Still, the maps don't cover the area beyong Harad for example. One can assume there's land out there too, I think.

*Blocks Anakin's kick with his right forearm*

Muahahahaha, chalk up another person annoyed today!

No seriously, if I sounded like an ungrateful bastard, I'm sorry. I like the map, really.

ATTENTION!!

I want to point out that for the purposes of this fantasy forum, in which ARTISTIC LICENSE IS HIGHLY ENCOURAGED, the map/s in question ONLY show the KNOWN BOUNDARIES of the known world.

Middle Earth contains the realm of man, right??? WELL. The Realm of Man has come to be known to contain a heck of a lot.

POINT BEING: THIS IS A FREE ROLE PLAY. We are NOT adhering STRICTLY to the world of Tolkien... just as our Star Wars role play forums tend to depart just a touch wee from the universe of George Lucas.

End of the story.
