Hello guys, I wanted to get a GD’s world map image file for a certain use.
it doesn’t have to be a high-res original file, but wouldn’t hurt if I could get it, right?
so I googled but found nothing,
and I found an old post in the forum, but the link is not working.
(http://maps.grimdawn.es/maps.rar)
so if someone knows how to get this image, I’d be much appreciated.
PS.
I am writing short novels with Grim Dawn lore for fun.
I wanted to include the world map image to display those main protagonists’ routes, in their stories.
(since it’s GD lore based novel, Imma upload them in this forum when it’s done.)
thanks for reading guys.
A few years ago, I assembled the map sections from the ui folder and created one large composite for use in my own mod. I have it in PSD format if you need it, but heres the whole map, in uncompressed PNG format. Its only the background, without place names or any icons on it. It also does not include the FG or AoM overlay maps.
Keep in mind, youll need to break it back down into its 10 different submaps if you want to use it in-game.

The link is to my mediafire account. Let me know if there are any problems accessing it.

Thank you very much my good sir!
this is what I needed.
however, I’d like to keep the riftgate and region names with the background…
I suppose those are included in the .PSD file?
I kinda can use photoshop, but if you have other map image assets too, I’d like to check them as well.
I don’t need AoM but if I can get the raw image of FG section, that might come in handy too.
PS.
I am not gonna use these for in-game related stuff.
when I post my fan-fic in the forum, I wanted to include the world map, and display character’s route as the story/chapter goes.
(also I made/making main characters’ reference builds on grimcalc. hahah)
No, i cant help you with the names and icons. Those must be exposed and added by the game as a player discovers the world or navigates the mods.
And the other layers in my PSD file are places i added for my own mod, The Shrine of Rhyanna. For example, i added a big lake in the region west of Arkovia. Also put into my backstory an ongoing war with the trolls in the far west, the edge of the Grim Dawn civilization. My story doesn’t intersect the Grim Dawn canon, but i have seen hints that the upcoming official mod Fangs of Asterkhan may take place in that region, and i may have to relocate the scene of my own mod. Thats why I’ve put it on hold.
ngl, it “always” puzzled me there wasn’t a high quality world map in the Media section Media – Grim Dawn and was the first place i checked for this or Nemesis art etc(which was scattered around the forum/wiki instead 
)
Most likely because it was offered at the $85 level of the kickstarter campaign:

Though the game has expanded since then.
Maybe as DLC with updated map?
