There are maps at Encyclopedia of Arda, as you might have seen, but they are not so detailed. Actually I'm looking for maps too, so I hope someone can post maps or links to maps! :angel:

I own A Tolkien Bestiary by David Day, and inside there is a large map of the entirety of Arda. I assume by 'entirety' you mean Beleriand, Middle-Earth, Numenor, The Undying Lands...? All that jazz?

Hi!

If you look in the History of Middle Earth Volume 4, The Shaping of Middle Earth, there are various sketches and drawings done by Tolkien, that show the enitre world of Arda as he wrote the stories.

Also, a book called 'The Atlas of Middle Earth' by Karen Wynn Fonstad, is a collection of maps depicting Tolkien's world and that unkown as close to references as possible.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
Eärendil The Mariner

I see. I was intending to buy 'Atlas of Tolkien's Middle-Earth', so do u think it is worth buying Lord of all? Thanks.

And also, here is a link to a map of Arda (not all though. Just Aman and the Hither Lands). It is said to be a bit inaccurate but I think it gives quite a clear idea of where places are.:-

Hope this helps!

The Atlas is definately worth purchasing. It contains dozens of map ranging in scale from the entire of Arda to just the hall of Meduseld in Edoras!

I saw that map you recommended not long ago, and whoever wrote it must have been drunk, the inaccuracies are numerous and abyssmal.

Thanks for trying though, it is appreciated.

Glad you already found the map I suggested. I didn't want to guide you in some wrong direction or something!

Anyway thanks for The Atlas suggestion. Didn't know it had that kind of map range. I will try and get my hands on it when possible!

Thanks alot once again,
Eärendil The Mariner

oooh now i want the atlas, too!! all those maps could be really useful while reading the books. i like to look at maps and trace down exactly where everyone is in the story while i read. does anyone else do that?

You could probably get it for around £12 and is definately worth the money. It is on the whole very axccurate considering it wasn't produced by Tolkien
