Enjoy!

Hi Nico. Thank you for sharing your files. They are more accurate than mine. I'll see about using these compared to creating vector icons by tracing a scan. But I still have the issue of using/wanting the custom 50x50 font, which is cumbersome. I'll post an update later if I do more.

As I more often play the hero variant of the game, any version with Dark Holds for the Dark Havens would be great. Thank you!
In the meantime, here is another file with hero site-types.

Inspired by Nico's nice and accurate drawings, I went ahead and scanned some cards to see how they look and attempt to trace the icons into vector images. It is turning out well.

But then I realized that I should make my drawings less accurate because the originals have some weirdness. Like the border-land symbol being larger than all the others, and the border-hold being slightly split at the top and bottom (it is like 2 separate images), and the white/black parts being off-center at the top (by the stroke width of the line for the white half). And wow, the Ruins & Lairs is pretty intricate. And yes, the tree top is a bit wonky.

If you want to wait another day, maybe 2, I'll upload another map with better icons. I've finished adding the new region icons to the map but not the new site icons.

I actually ended up discovering ICE's vector images a while ago, complete with the 2-part towers and wonky tree. Just 5 images here:

Hey CD, is this the Map you were wanting for the SITE? (CN)?

Let me know...

Mapping is up NEXT (as in now) since the complete remaster of
core is finished, I'll be doing (necc') erratums for TD->BA, in off days.

But here is the thing, MAPS are GETTING DONE legit 100%

I got two maps one of Endor of the complete Middle-earth.
And then the hi-res for the north-west
(more mid-west i.e. not really any north).

One will be for Standard, and the other for
FULL DC WORLD Domination! (if we ever get to the east!)

They are gonna get REGIONIZED and SYMBOLIZED.

In the next two months constantly working on them.

All sick... full zooming in out etc with sites expansion etc
I just want to give all the options to the players for the site!

Let me know...
As of 4/3/21 4:03:21
my current rulings foundation is based on:
All of the rules and rulings found in these PDFs at:

If you have other collected rulings that are not
listed please feel free to email them or PM me...

Eh. I personally find this map easy to read. But the main reason I like it is because it's black and white, so easy to print. I also like the styling. But no need to put it on CardNum.

I like the map too. Personally I would not bother with the numbering, however. I see that is to help locating regions, but the names are there anyway.
