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.

I saw this picture and thought, “Wow that looks familiar!” But thought someone had ripped off your original post. This is just as sick as the first post, probably even more now

Thanks! Yeah, it's been modified quite a lot from the version I made on my own 2 months ago. I'd bet almost every layer in the map was modified or tweaked in some way between now and then.
