Back home from a great Gary Con, it was so much fun to meet gamer friends again after two years of hibernating at home. The bad side to it are a severe case of Con Crud, but thankfully not covid. After a day recovering in bed its time to get back to work, and first out are some more heraldry digging into Greyhawk history.

First are the infamous Tharizdun, what would a shield used by his followers look like? Below is my take on what a Tharizdun cultist shield might have looked like back in its prime.

The purple color is inspired by Mike Bridges cartoon cultists, which I tried to bled in with a some shine and harsh effects to create a slightly crazy looking shield with a magic flare. 

What would such a shield look like found in "modern times" in the Flanaess. Below is my take on that, a corroded mess shipped away at the edges. Tharizdun doesn't offer much protection from decay even for his own magical items, but some of its power are still present.

Next up is everyone's favorite (it seems) Vecna. The first shield is from the time of Vecnas tyrannical rule of the Flanaess, when he still has both his hands and eyes and was working on his lichdom. His symbol has an eye in the center with radiating spokes, meaning he the ruler of all that sees everything.

Below is what that shield might look like found in a hidden stash in the late CY 500's.

In a bad state but much better than the sorry state of the Tharizdun shield. 

Finally a look at the Knight Protectors of the Great Kingdom and their heraldry over the years. First is the initial shield they used in their early days after saving the Overking from some sort of a dragon. 

The design is from the 3rd edition Sword and Fist supplement.

Next is the LG version of the Knights heraldry, the black Aerdy Cranden base later used during the Cranden hold of Rauxes. Didn't like this design at first but its is starting to grow on me a bit. 

and finally a design by Brian Blumklotz sporting a pattern of Aerdy stars on the later Great Kingdom Blue.

I can see this design being adopted as a way of "depoliticize" the order and make it about the Empire and less about Heironeans and Hextorians.

This was it for today, I will get into the hexed version of the Flanaess  & Hepmonaland map now. 

All the 98 maps are done, and you can grab them as JPG and PDF's here:  https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kxzix4c9p8irsit/AABYC8mmlkAfkm-jXdhyYb1wa?dl=0

Covers and index will coma a bit later, now I'm just about to leave for Gary Con. I hope to see some of you there!

Here are the next batch of updated heraldry, 60 this time including a few alternate versions.

You can grab them all in a zip file here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zrv3cpc0fq9umn7/Heraldry4.zip?dl=0

My favorite in this batch are the Hobgoblins of the Pomarj

I'm very happy how the grit and dirt on this one turned out while still keeping the looks of the original illustration of the 83 boxed set. Encouraged by the results I tried the Goblin shield again, and this time I kind of like the result.

Trying to make the skulls dominating so many shields different from each other and look interesting, intimidating and believable is among the hardest in this project. With the Order of the Bone I feel I have succeeded in giving the reclusive cult a good representation. 

I went for a "what if you attach a piece of slate" kind of look, and I like the result.

A classic got a work over this time, Lord Robilar's famous heraldry.

I like the slightly over the top medieval look, I think it compliment the notorious man's legacy.

This brings up the total of heraldry in the new and updated series to 260 with about 100 more to go, which means that the goal of updating all of them this summer is going to happen. Then it is time to start work on a Greyhawk Heraldry Compendium!

Thank you so much for all of your support!! 🙂

Here is the final version!!

Only recommend the PDF version for those with really powerful computers, the size of this map is in many ways too big for the PDF format. It has layers like older PDF versions.

Thank you all for supporting this project, it took a bit over a year and a lot of long hours of work but I'm really pleased with the result and it is a good leg to stand on until all the content can be migrated into a GIS based map.

Time to finalize the 576CY map and ramp up the Atlas. I got a bunch of last minute stuff to look over and some of it made it into the map, most of it from the Gord books. So here are a second release candidate, and now the time for adding and changing the map as ended. Now its time try and weed out the typos and errors, so please go over it.

A not to the quality is not perfect on this export, it uses type antialiasing which are not as good on vector art, but better on type. The reason for this is that I have kept the Credits and Legend sections text editable in case a final adjustment is needed. I will outline all that in the final export and use a higher quality antialiasing.

Atlas

Here is a look at the map layout for the 2022 Atlas.

98 Maps plus legend and Credits will make it a meaty 100 pages!

The PDF versions will be layered and have vector symbols and art keeping them both small in size and printing well as well as giving the user the option of hiding content.

You can can get the PDF versions of the first maps here:
