File:The First 'Silmarillion' Map in 3D - Airyyn.png

File on Tolkien Gateway

Original file(2,296 × 1,300 pixels, file size: 114 KB, MIME type: image/png)

Axonometric view of the First 'Silmarillion' Map.

Hydrography and places of interest have been removed. Two black triangles indicate the locations of Nargothrond (N) and Menegroth (M). The vertical scale is arbitrary and has been exaggerated to emphasise the relief. At this scale, the Tangorodrim mountain is as large as half the Pyrenees (mountain range between France an Spain), which shows that the relief is very coarse. This representation erase the topographical problems caused by a Tolkien's faulty plotting on the original map : a contour line (near Gondolin, square "7-c") labelled "4" at the top of the map becomes "7" (near the mention "ORC-RAIDS", square"11-f") at the bottom of the map.
