Travel

The following are maps of the world of Azeroth, for use as a resource for GMs running the World of Warcraft RPG. These maps are cobbled together from various (often conflicting) sources, and hence arbitrary decisions have been made to reconcile the inconsistencies. More details are at the bottom of this page.

TRAVEL TIMES
The following are rough travel times to use in conjunction with the map below. For more detailed overland travel times, please consult the Dungeon Master's Guide, or the System Resource Document.

Transportation Method Miles per Day Inches on Map
Foot (Spd 15') 12 mi 1/16"
Foot (Spd 20')
Wagon Carvan
16 mi 1/12"
Walking (Spd 30') 24 mi 1/8"
Walking (Spd 40') 32 mi 1/6"
Horseback (less than 150 lb load) 48 mi 1/4"


KALIMDOR TRAVEL MAP
Kalimdor This travel map is pieced together, using a low-resolution outline of Kalimdor (from the world map), and then pasting in the individual zone maps (with some extrapolation made for areas not covered by the zone maps). This is presented in three pieces (despite my attempts to fit it into two), meant to be printed off at 300 dpi (8"x10" print area) in color. If you have access to Adobe Photoshop or a similar program, you may want to adjust the contrast according to the peculiarities of your color printer. I've revised this version (and the Eastern Kingdoms map below, too) to have each of the parts of equal size, despite the large amount of overlap. (That makes it a little easier to print all the pieces at the same scale if you're using a utility that automatically scales the pieces to fit the page.)

If printed off at 300 dpi and taped together (with significant overlap), this map should have a scale of 1" = 192 miles (4 days by swift mount, 8 days by foot). Please consult the Dungeon Master's Guide or Open System Reference Documents for details on overland travel times.

EASTERN KINGDOMS TRAVEL MAP
Eastern Kingdoms This travel map was pieced together in similar fashion to the Kalimdor map, though I started with a "zone map" I found during a Google search, and then I proceeded to make alterations from there (pasting in a few of my own "zone maps" to scale things how I wanted, adding labels, adding icons, and drawing in missing islands and the nation of Zul'Aman). Although I tried to add some outlines for greater clarity, there are several "faded" areas: These represent areas part of the continents of the Eastern Kingdoms that aren't actually covered by game-playable "zones" in World of Warcraft, or they represent areas that I've added in (Kul Tiras, Zul'Aman, and assorted islands) that weren't covered by the World of Warcraft maps.

As with the Kalimdor map, this is presented in three pieces meant to be printed off at 300 dpi (8"x10" print area), and there is some overlap. I've also gone the extra step to add in some dots to mark certain major locations indicated on the maps and to give an indication of what "faction" they belong to.

If printed off at 300 dpi and taped together (with significant overlap), this map should have a scale of 1" = 192 miles (4 days by swift mount, 8 days by foot). Please consult the Dungeon Master's Guide or Open System Reference Documents for details on overland travel times.

About These Maps:
One resource sadly lacking from the roleplaying game (as per this writing) would be any detailed information on the size of the lands of Azeroth, and travel times to get from one place to another.

For my own campaign, I've tried to develop some maps and other resources to assist in determining travel times. These aren't very "pretty," as they're hacked together from screen captures, with a bit of touch-up work based on various alternative sources. However, I hope that this might provide a starting point for GMs running broad "overland" campaigns.

Please note that, out of necessity, I've made a lot of arbitary assumptions, filling in various gaps. The scale of the maps is based upon a tidbit of information from the White Wolf Forums, that Kalimdor is approximately 1600 miles across, east to west, at its widest point. From that piece of information, I've extrapolated the rest for my maps.

These maps are presented in the hopes of serving as a useful tool for GMs. They are (in their present form) cobbled together from screen captures from World of Warcraft and the Warcraft RTS games, and I have drawn heavily from the efforts of many other people. (Among these would be "Warlock", who put together a comprehensive map of Azeroth on his Scrolls of Lore web site. I've used his map as a guideline for the placement of various islands, and for relative sizes of the continents.)

As of this writing, I only have Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms done. The "no labels" alternate versions are just the background without any of the labels I've added. (They may or may not include some of the original "zone map" labels in whole or in part. In some places, I erased out the original labels during the process of "zipping" the zone maps together and creating clear space to add my own labels.)
