Belgariad/Malloreon Map

I'm in the middle of re-reading The Belgariad (and The Malloreon sequal) series by David Eddings. When diving into a rather large high-fantasy series, you can be fairly sure the world within it is going to be massive. I find that if I have a map for reference as I read, I can immerse myself in the world that much more by being able to visualize the distances and topology.

I found a fantastic fan-created map of the entire world on DeviantArt that I can't seem to praise enough. My awe of this map is amplified by the fact that I could find absolutely no other descent maps for this terrific series at all.



This is a (very) small version of the map just to show you the quality. Check out the artists page at DeviantArt. To appreciate the map in all its glory, however, you should contact the artists through dA and request the full-scale version. Be warned, it is a 48mb JPEG, with a res of 10958x8000.
