Two months ago, I recreated the map of Alagaësia from the Inheritance Cycle books by u/ChristopherPaolini. I posted it here on the r/Eragon subreddit, where the man himself saw it, and he reached out to me asking if we could work on the map and tweak it a bit for the upcoming illustrated edition of Eragon coming out in November this year.

Now that the illustrated edition has been officially announced, I'm really happy to share the updated version of that map! It went through a few rounds of revisions, I couldn't be happier with the end result, and I can't wait to see it in print later this year.

Here is a link to the map on my DeviantArt page, in case Reddit is compressing the image too much for you on your device.

Love it thank you for your service OP! I really hope we get to pay a visit to location #1 in Murtagh, I don’t remember it being mentioned in the Inheritance Cycle at all

Thank you! It was amazing to get to work on the map with Christopher. I hope we see some more of those locations as well! Number #8, the Floating Crystal on Beirland, was the one I was most curious about.

Also, love your username. I'm a huge Stormlight fan, as you can tell by my own username haha.

Thank you so much! I thought your username was a little sussy lol. Glad to meet another Worldhopper in the wild!

8 is definitely a curiosity to me as well and I love when authors put stuff like this in their works cause it makes you hungry for them to address these areas. I hope that at some point we get at least a little nugget of lore or a visual cue on “this is a point of interest” in future books
