I started running Agents of Edgewatch for one of my groups not long ago, and before starting I wanted to setup a nice map of the Prepice Quarter in Foundry VTT to give them a reference point for the various locations they visited. When I was figuring out where everything in Book 1 was, however, I found that the provided map didn't really allow for a lot of room.
I came across this post and saw others had noticed similar issues. James' response made me wonder what the Quarter would look like if it was scaled up in size and the locations spread out. The City of Absalom book helped out a lot, showing what the district looked like early on, but it was still clearly written as before Agents of Edgewatch.
So, I put together a barebones idea of where some things could go and added landmarks for where locations in CoA had been present that were likely still around. Then I consulted an expert - I'd used Narchy's maps for many Pathfindering sessions before now and he was the first person I thought of when it came to a high quality custom map for such a large district. It also turned out he had already done his own take on the Festival Grounds, based on the original map, as he was also involved in an Agents of Edgewatch game himself.
After some discussion, he agreed to take on a commission for a new and renovated map of the entire Precipice Quarter. Whereas I had only a crude idea of where things might go, Narchy was able to make it all reality. He fleshed out streets and housing, spaced out the festival sites, included landmarks from CoA and Agents of Edgewatch, did the sort of thing I could only have dreamt about. By the end, he had created a most amazing map that, I think, fully reflects what the Precipice Quarter would look like at the start of Agents of Edgewatch, festival and all. He is an absolute genius at map-making and this work is something I couldn't begin to keep to myself - so, I wanted to share it with everyone.
Please enjoy the high-quality work that is the Precipice Quarter! All credit to Narchy, of course, for his masterful work. All of the landmarks in the original Festival Grounds map from Agents of Edgewatch should be present, along with a number of locations from book 1 sprinkled throughout the map.
The Precipice Quarter - Radiant Festival Map
I want to give humongous thanks to Narchy for his help - not just for this map, but the dozens of others he has designed for Pathfinder APs that really enhance the quality of a virtual tabletop. If anyone else wants to talk to Narchy about mapworks, you can follow his twitter here.
I wish everyone many great Pathfinder adventures - Happy New Year!

Fantastic Map.
Especially useful as the new Absalom sourcebook has the map for the Precipice quarter pre-gentrification.

(btw, for those who are looking, the Zoo and Dragonfly Pagoda are both on the Silver Lawn, a bit to the right of the War Dome)

Thanks for sharing! That map is awesome.
Anyone find where Edgewatch HQ is on the map?
I talked to narchy and he confirmed the HQ is meant to be this building.
Any other landmarks I should be looking for?
The pagoda and the menagerie are kinda obvious. The Dreaming Palace is also there as we discussed in a different thread. There might be more. For sure there are some old landmarks from before the sector was re-built. You can quickly locate those by comparing the old map from the Absalom book with this one since they align perfectly.
Good to have some free Precipice Quarter map stuff out there for Agents of Edgewatch for PF2e, Karui Kage and Narchy. ;)
I love the map, but I have a question. Which of the buildings is supposed to be the Edgewatch HQ? Is it the fenced-in building directly north of the Mystic Gardens, facing the bridge? Or is it somewhere else?
