Unofficial Consolidated Maps of Ferelden

Two maps for everyone, using all known sources I could find for locations in Ferelden throughout the games. That includes the “blank” map that I used for the base of these two (the first map available on the wikia), an alternate base that has some of the location markers (from the RPG, I believe), the quest-marker map from DA:O, Awakening’s quest-marker map, Dragon Age: Legends, World of Thedas Vol 1, and Inquisition’s war table and world maps.

Map 1: All locations, more or less canon.

Map 2: Bren’s headcanon locations.

The second map is mostly the same as the first, but there are a few changes that I had to make to reconcile some random bits on my own, to provide locations for places not otherwise been given, etc. If anyone chooses to use the second map for their own purposes, keep in mind that while I personally use Map 2, Map 1 is the closest thing to an official one for all known locations. I don’t mind others using Map 2 at all, I just want to make it clear that it’s definitely less than official. Notes for both maps below; bold headings apply to Map 1, italics to Map 2, both apply to both:

(Conflict) Haven is given multiple positions on multiple maps from the games themselves, plus other sources such as WoTv1. In spite of the base for this map having Haven pre-established just northwest of where I’ve put Rainesfere, I’m using the location from the Origins quest markers since that matches the map in World of Thedas vol 1. 

If you choose to use the older version for Haven’s location, the original marker is still present, I just haven’t bolded it. You’ll probably need the full size to see it fully, though.

No marker used for the Temple of Sacred Ashes, as at this scale this should be close enough to Haven that they would almost overlap. (Compared to marker on the quest map, which puts it down near Honnleath.)

(Headcanon) Placing Rainesfere where Redcliffe was originally marked on the maps from the first two books. There’s actually still a marker here on a few of the current maps, just without anything assigned to the location. This also matches the vague location mentioned in Teagan’s codex: “a tiny province of Redcliffe’s squeezed between the Frostback Mountains and Lake Calenhad.” Because this location is a reasonable match to information from these two sources, I’m leaving it on the Unofficial Official map as well as my headcanon one.

(Personal change) In the game’s own maps, the Dalish camp is on the west side of the ridge of the Southron Hills and no where near the forest. (See map 1.) For my own use, I’ve moved it into the forest to the east side of the hills, nestled against the hills themselves. Travel here would require using either the Brecilian Passage to the south or trekking the long way through the forest, going around Dragon’s Peak from Denerim.

(Headcanon / Conflict / Not Enough Information) Waking Sea bannorn has no true location information. Dragon Age Legends calls the islands containing Jainen “Waking Sea” but playing through that again the map refers to the area as “Waking Sea” but all dialogue refers to the area as Jainen. Without any source for its location, I’ve placed it in a spot convenient for my purposes.

(Correction from previous post) Received more information on the location of Theirinfal Redoubt since my last drafts of the map and have updated to reflect that. This should be more or less accurate, but the scale of the War Table map and this map are a bit different.

(Omissions) The Fallow Mire’s general location has been left out, since from context in Inquisition it didn’t seem like there were problems there before the plague hit the area. Without that plague and the undead, the location is little more than a settlement on the edge between the Hinterlands and the Wilds.

(Omissions) Hinterlands points-of-interest, other than the crossroads. Hinterlands map can’t be properly translated to overall Ferelden map at this time (something true for most all location-specific maps for Inquisition areas).

Updated black and white versions of each map, hopefully for better contrast! The text for the Basin and for Honnleath are still a little paler than ideal, but it’s a bit more readable than the color version (and having the other colors flattened down into B&W probably helps for colorblindness, too).
