Is there a map of the complete OotS world out there? I love fantasy world maps and know of the maps of the Western Continent and the area surrounding the former Azure City, but wondered if the Giant had one archived somewhere. If not, that would be a cool poster idea, and I know I would buy one.

Not that I know of... But that sounds like a cool project for the forum. Not sure if there's enough information for it though, aside from the one map of the Western Continent and the area containing Greysky, Azure City, and Cliffport (and even this is mostly relative to each other's location).

I think I remember seeing a fan one floating around on the forum. Should be easy to find a link to the thread it was posted in, if it ever existed and if the thread's still there.

EDIT
Here are two relevant (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5171) threads. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=137758) One of them is thread that I just mentioned.

In a book there is a bonus map of the area around Azure city, here (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0698.html) is the dessert map, and here (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0639.html) is a handy view of around half of the world. Sorry if none of this is helpful.

The Giant himself may not want to give us a full map yet, if its a spoiler.

He's given us a map of half the world in the Familicide strip. The half that contains the two continents we know about. We also have a map of the entire Western Continent.

Ah right (forgot) so we do know the shape of two continents and perhaps some moutain ranges...

I would hesitate to call that a map. It really doesn't have the details to quantify calling it as such.

Actually what I like about the familicide map is it shows that there are DEFINITELY more continents than we know about and that there are black dragons there.

Not really enough substantial evidence to conclude that. The only landmass's we see are the western and what i shall call the eastern continent for simplicity sake. Outside of that there's just 4 other islands(one which is quite large).

And while yes, there are Familicide tenderloins * tendrils going all around the world. That's not really proof of more continents, it could be other small island-like landmass's or a dragon above the ocean for some reason. Although based on the size of the planet and the continents i would be surprised if there wasn't another continent due to the size the ocean would be if there wasn't....of course It's still plausible.

"Anyway, what is a fantasy map but a space beyond which There Be Dragons? On the Discworld we know that There Be Dragons Everywhere. They might not all have scales and forked tongues, but they Be Here all right, grinning and jostling and trying to sell you souvenirs. "

I tend to think the three continents in the Familicide strip are the only ones. It seems quite fitting that there only be three continents, one for each pantheon, and that where there should be an Eastern continent there is nothing but sea.

(We also know that the last gate is in the north, so there doesn't seem to be much narrative point in introducing another landmass. That could change, sure, but I reckon if we're going to see a location other than those we already know about, then it's going to be on another planet altogether instead of the far side of this one.)
