Golarion World Map?

[somescars.neverheal]

Has Paizo ever released a full world map of Golarion, or are all the maps simple regional ones? I'd really like to see a full map of the whole world. But googling it only comes up with fan made maps.

The closest thing so far is page 204 of the Inner Sea World Guide.

Previewed in the blog, here.

This is also a pretty cool link, posted by Kvantum in that blog thread.

There is a half page sketch map of the world in the Inner Sea World Guide, which I think made it into the blog, but it is designed to be slightly unreliable to allow changes when they get to map the unknown bits. The only locked down areas are the Inner Sea, the Crown of the World, and Tian Xia.

This one is the best one I've seen. I'm not sure on its canonicity, but it's reasonably close to the official map in outline.

Steve posted the only official one I know of.

That's pretty cool but it does say right on it that the names are all unofficial. :)

If anyone does a map of all of golarion it really should look like this one here.

We haven't yet released an accurate map of the world. Some day we will. The one in the Inner Sea World Guide is meant mostly to show the basic shapes and basic layout and basic position of the continents... but the oceans on that map are MUCH smaller than they really are—we deliberately increased and exaggerated the sizes of the continents to make them more prominent.

[Werthead]

This may be answered somewhere else, but is Golarion the same size as Earth? Or has it been left vague?

[Kajehase]

James Jacobs has said that Golarion and Earth is the same size on a couple of occasions.

The main rationale for it would appear to be that it makes the physics of things that much easier. (Golarion also only has one moon, and, while I can't recall if it has been stated, is probably the same distance from its sun as Earth is from ours.)

Good stuff. Lol.

Given that the calendar year and lunar months are identical to Earth's, Somal would pretty much have to be the same distance from Golarion as Luna is from Earth.

I've wondered about that one, by the way. Can it be a coincidence that Golarion and Earth share the same day length and so forth, and that the day is the same length as the duration unit of many spells. Perhaps the two worlds are special in some way because their day matches this cosmologically significant measure of time? :)

Hm. Tian Xia looks like a bottle on that map :)
