New Map of the RED QUEEN WORLD!

October 26, 2016 by Victoria Aveyard

Hello! Some info about the newly expanded map of the Red Queen world can be found here on the Epic Reads website! Here’s a bit of a breakdown on how this new map came to be.

I started with this smaller and very simple map to give the Harper artist the nitty gritty to work with.
After the artist took a crack at expanding the map to include Montfort, and beautified the map (LOOK AT THOSE GORGEOUS MOUNTAINS), I had some notes. It can be tricky communicating map stuff and our biggest issue came when we realized the new map had been translated to Robinson projection, which was throwing off some rivers and locations in a big way.
Now that we decided to expand the map to include Montfort, I expanded the original map underlay I was working with. I decided to go with Google Maps/original Mercator projection for ease of use to match up with the old geographic locations already established in Mercator. This helped immensely when planning out where old (and new) cities would be.
Here’s an idea of the overlay, and how much this part of North America has changed several thousand years in the future. Most rivers follow similar courses to their paths today, although they have been renamed.
With the new map underlay, it was easy to build out Montfort and the western reaches of Prairie and Tiraxes. I loved the style the artist developed for this map, so all I had to do at this point was get rivers, cities, and new borders in order. I included a key to the numbers naming new cities and rivers in an email.
Maps are my favorite, and working on this one was a dream come true. I’m so excited to keep growing the Red Queen world and can’t wait for this map to be included in King’s Cage!!
