An interactive map of Faerûn for tabletop D&D — pan and zoom a tiled 3rd-edition map, find any of 297 marked places, measure travel distances, and read that place's Forgotten Realms Wiki article without leaving the map.
Not affiliated with, endorsed, or approved by Wizards of the Coast.
- The whole of Faerûn, tiled — smooth pan and zoom, no external tile service.
- 297 places across eight categories — Capitals, Cities, Ports, Port Capitals, Fortresses, Ruins, Sites, and Temples — each toggleable.
- Place articles from the Forgotten Realms Wiki, in a panel beside the map, with the infobox laid out as readable fields rather than wiki table markup.
- Distance measurement in miles or kilometres, scaled from the source map.
- Search across every marked place.
- Shareable links — every place has its own URL.
- Built for a finger too — on touch the sidebar becomes a bottom sheet you drag down, and the map keeps the whole screen.
- Nothing behind it — every page is prerendered, so there is no database, no accounts, no cookies, and no runtime API calls beyond anonymous visitor counts. See Privacy.
Requires Node.js 22.6+ and pnpm.
git clone https://github.com/nooikko/post-map.git
cd post-map
pnpm install
pnpm devThen open http://localhost:3000.
To build and serve the production site:
pnpm build
pnpm startAll available scripts
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
pnpm dev |
Development server |
pnpm build |
Prerender the map and all 297 place pages |
pnpm start |
Serve the production build |
pnpm typecheck |
tsc --noEmit |
pnpm licence |
Regenerate NOTICE, REUSE.toml and LICENSES/ from lib/attribution.ts and lib/licence-scope.ts |
pnpm licence:check |
Fail if any of those have drifted; CI runs this |
pnpm images |
Recompose public/faerun-map* from the tile pyramid |
pnpm fetch:redirects |
Top up the wiki mirror; --force re-fetches |
licence is a pair of narrower scripts — notice and reuse, each with a
:check variant — for when only one of the generated files is in question.
images is not part of the build. Its two outputs are committed alongside the
tiles they are cut from, so it only needs running when the pyramid changes.
- Architecture — how the map, routing, and wiki pipeline fit together
- Tile pipeline — how the map tiles were produced
- Data schema — the mirrored article format
Bug reports and ideas are welcome — please open an issue. This is a personal project, so pull requests may not be merged; see CONTRIBUTING.md before starting work on one, and the code of conduct for the short version of how to behave.
To report a security issue, see SECURITY.md — please use private reporting rather than a public issue.
The site counts visitors and page-load timings with Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights, on their free tier. No cookies, no accounts, no third-party trackers, and nothing typed into the search box leaves the browser. The full policy is at postmap.findquinn.com/privacy; see PRIVACY.md.
The code is MIT. The map artwork, the mirrored article text and the marker data are not — each carries its own terms. NOTICE is the authoritative statement of which is which, and worth reading before you fork: two of those conditions travel with the material rather than with this repository.
NOTICE, REUSE.toml and LICENSES/ are generated from
lib/licence-scope.ts — change that module and run pnpm licence.
If you hold rights in something used here and want it credited differently or removed, open a rights holder request or send it privately. No proof of ownership is demanded up front, and these take priority over any feature or bug here.
Place articles come from the Forgotten Realms Wiki. The map artwork is Wizards of the Coast's; docs/tile-pipeline.md covers how this project cut it into tiles. The marker data came from a forum that went offline years ago with no attribution attached to it — if you compiled it, or know who did, please get in touch.
