Back in 2020, if I recall correctly, Shawn Tomkin mentioned something that gave me a scale for the Ironsworn map, and, although I don’t recall more about what was said, I did go and make some scale comparisons to Middle Earth, a few real world maps, and also Greyhawk for fun, and since there were some discussions online about trying to conceptualize the size of the Ironlands, these might be helpful, or at least interesting.
Since then I deleted and then recreated my Twitter account, [and deleted it again, again!] so those aren’t online anywhere I can point to anymore. Welp, okay. Here they are!
I started with the comparison between Middle Earth and the Ironlands.
And here’s the distance from the Shire to Mount Doom, as the crow flies.
Then, I did some comparisons to real world maps. There’s a bunch, so here’s a gallery.
Finally, because I’m an old school nerd, I also did one last comparison, between Ironlands and the Greyhawk region of Oerth.
