Each issue of Atlas Keléstia describes a piece of the world of Kèthîra, also known as HârnWorld, and includes a layered PDF map showing 625 square leagues of high-resolution vegetation and relief, with detailed geographical features, towns, castles, keeps, villages, shrines, mines, peaks and more. Notes and data are provided for every named location on the map. Notes are provided as both a PDF document and as an Excel file. A 'flattened' version of the map is also included, as is a map key explaining the terrain coloring and symbols.
Presently, Atlas Keléstia squares are only available for locations in the Shôrkýnè (SHKN) region. The map below shows the grid for that region. Click on any highlighted square to learn more about and to order a detailed map of that square.
Guide to Using Interactive Layers
Our map guide details how to take advantage of the 'layers' on the Atlas Keléstia interactive maps.

Printing Notes
The maps are 20cm square. This means that on a sheet of U.S. letter-size paper (we recommend light cardstock), the map pages should have 8mm (5/16 inch) margins at left and right. On A4 paper, this should leave 5mm on each side.
If your printer cannot print this close to the edges of the page, you might want to consider the 'fit to page' option; this will reduce the size and scale of the map slightly but the quality of the print should be just as good.
Please note that inkjet printers especially are not particularly economical (and there is nothing anyone can do to make them economical) when it comes to printing highly 'saturated' pages, like these maps. The non-map pages may be printed in black and white if desired.
Map Folios
From time-to-time, we may collect adjoining Atlas Keléstia issues together and release them as bundled map folios.
