D&D (2024) Check Out The New Dungeon Master's Guide's Greyhawk Map

Greyhawk is the 'sample setting' provided in the 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide, and it is illustrated with a massive hex map by the awesome Mike Schley.

Thunder Rift, at least originally, was a stand-alone mini-setting and had nothing to do with Greyahwk.

Orlane, as mentioned, is between the Gran March and Keoland but its location is not specifically indicated on this map (the scale is too big and Orlane is just a village).

 

[Nikosandros]

no norepinephrine Nomads, Rovers, or Barbarians. Very nice.

Yes, unsurprisingly, they dropped all this names.

 

[Parmandur]

What is interesting to note is that the map has at least 7 named Dungeon locations (as well as a number of unnamed "Ruins" for a DM tondecelop), including 3 already published for 5E, and 4...that have not been:

• White Plume Mountain
• Tomb of Horrors
• Loat Caverns of Taojcanth
• Temple of Elemental Evil
• Maure Castle
• Ghost Tower of Iverness

Aaaand...

- Castle Greyhawk, seperate from the Free City by a bit.

Wonder what if any role those will play on the DMG.

That's cool. Nice sleuthing.

Eh, it looks like it's in an adjacent, hex, right? So still within a day's travel, I expect is still the intent.

True, but, it is noted separately on the map...which is suggestive.

CASTLE GREYHAWK CONFIRMED!!!

 

[Parmandur]

CASTLE GREYHAWK CONFIRMED!!!

We know Greyhawk is getting level of detail as a Setting, and we know from the YouTuver previews that the Gree City is getting some special zoom-in detail...

Ot wouldn't shock me if some Castle Greyhawk material is part of the 5 sample Advebtures and 15 sample maps.

 

[Remathilis]

Orlane’s official placement is in northern Gran March, north of Rushmoors. I’m not aware of canonical placement of Thunder Rift.

Iirc, Thunder Rift is on Mystara, not Oerth.

 

[A2Z]

Is the poster map coming with the DMG? or is it just going to be a 2 page spread?

That was my understanding as well.
