The world of Ancient Anguish

Created By Methos.

This map is as complete as I could possibly make it. The row boat would not go any farther out to sea, or I would have mapped more of the ocean. There's not much on the islands, most of the areas are on the main continent, but I think more things will emerge off the mainland, on the islands, as time progresses.

* Note: The northern, western, and southern edges of the Ancient Anguish map are defined by the edges of my map. The eastern edge is undefined, except at the bottom right, where the edge is defined by this map.
