As I write this, I've been playing TTRPGs for nearly 40 years. I've learned that there are a lot of things that I can do well, some things that I'm alright at, and other things that I just shouldn't try. I always struggled with maps, making them realistic enough to seem like someplace where people could reasonably live, work, and love. So maps, especially good ones, are things of awe-inspiring beauty to me. But this... this is a masterpiece.
I took one look at the Western Realm of Aquilae and knew that I had to run games there. Just the Western Realm is enough map to spend a lifetime gaming in, but I sincerely hope that one day we get to explore the Eastern Realm, too.
The maps are so incredibly well done, you can have reasonably accurate fauna, flora, and weather for each region, because you know the general climate, elevation, and common features. It's clearly a labor of both love and incredible talent.
If you need a world to game in - shoot, even if you already have one - this is by far the best set of world maps that exists as a purchasable product. I promise that you will not be disappointed.
