Czech Republic Fantasy Map

Overview

Getting ready to run Paizo’s Kingmaker with some modifications.
Instead of the Stolen Lands, I’m setting it in The Swordlands, a fantasy analogue of the Czech Republic
There’s an open call from Lady Simone Kravmenko of Taarka to settle a region called The Swordlands that borders the southern edge of Taarka
They’re often regarded as a no-man’s land full of bandits, goblins, manticores, and worse
Kravmenko has authorized several adventuring groups, the Wednesday players are just one of them (frenemies!)
I made a hex map of the Czech Republic using a topography map
For terrain hexes, I used the same terrain types as Thorfinn Tait’s simple maps from the Mystara Atlas project
The map uses 6-mile hexes, which is a kind of industry standard for RPG hex crawls. Total size is approx. 160 miles north-south, and 300 miles east-west
I also made a climate map, useful for determining weather in any given part of the Swordlands

It is currently mid-autumn – the weather is 50F during the day and 40F during the night
The northern Swordlands have wet summers, dry spring and autumn, and snowy winters
The SW Swordlands are mountainous and rainy year round, with snowy winters
The SE Swordlands are rainy mid-year, drying out significantly during winter – lighter snow
