Who knew there was a guild? (aka Lots of Links)

As always I was perusing maps online and decided to gander at the thirty something albums at www.cartographersguild.com

I'd found the site a while ago when looking at/for maps of Westeros from George R.R. Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire" (check it out). I highly recommend the series - at least the four existing books -but if my accolades aren't enough to convince you maybe a long drool over this awesome map will get your mind wondering about what's going on in that world:

There are loads of other awesome finds, such as:

http://www.cartographersguild.com/album.php?albumid=413

http://www.cartographersguild.com/album.php?albumid=304

Bear in mind, these are just my favorites...so far and in no particular order... and there's plenty more where those came from. Kudos to the fantastic artists that provide me with hours of entertainment and more inspiration than I know what to do with!
