My version of Robert E. Howard's Hyboria.

REH left no world map of his Hyborian Age, so many places are based on descriptions in his books or outright speculations.
I studied several existing maps [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] for this project, some are very different from each other. But I found also a few very similar maps, so I used mainly these for place names and positions, but changed a few things so that they fit - in my opinion - now better the descriptions. So the locations are a combination of existing positions and my own interpretation.
For the artistic part, however, I used my own style and approach; in this respect I can say the map has no resemblance to other existing Hyboria maps.

Definitely one of the best Hyboria maps I've seen and I've seen my fair share.

Thank you!
That's actually the most mentioned critique, so I guess there was the need for a good Hyboria map.
