World Map

The official world map of the Adventures of Baron Von Monocle shows two continents, Areth and Zenwey, with the island groups and seas around them. Regions are tinted red, yellow or green, and dots mark cities. A compass rose with a winged-gear emblem sits in the western ocean. The map was drawn for the series, and this page lists every label on it. Labels are spelled exactly as printed.

Map features

  • Compass rose: an eight-point brass-and-black star marked "N", placed in the Golgmarsh Ocean. Its centre holds a crowned, winged gear-wheel emblem. The small lettering around the emblem cannot be read at the map's resolution.
  • Lines: two red dotted lines run across the whole map, one through the Siren Sea and one through northern Areth (Zarma and the Golgmarsh Ocean). A blue dashed line crosses the middle of the map, through southern Zenwey and Clockmaker's Isle. The map does not explain these lines.
  • Borders: red lines separate the nations of Areth. A thin line separates Rislandia from the Wyranth Empire.
  • Unlabelled city dots: every region has a city dot, but no city is named. Rislandia City, Portsgate and Wyranth's capital are not identified.

Places in the books that are not on the map

Differences between the map and the texts

These are listed for the author to rule on. The wiki has not resolved them.

  • The map prints Artrebla; every text has Atrebla.
  • The map prints Klektiklub; The Blood of Giants has Klektiklab.
  • The map prints Great Jehrom; The Blood of Giants has Great Jerohm.
  • The map puts Ebony Sands on an island off Zarma in Areth. In The Blood of Giants, the Ebony Sands Coast is on Zenwey, where the Liliana lands below a volcano.
  • The map shows one Island of Fae between Zenwey and Clockmaker's Isle. The wiki's Islands of Fae page places them in the western Golgmarsh Ocean.
  • The Rislandia page says the Golgmarsh Ocean lies west and north of the kingdom. On the map, the water north of Rislandia is labelled Crosswinds Sea.
  • In The Blood of Giants, Great Jerohm is reached travelling along Zenwey's northern coast. On the map it sits in the south of the continent.
