Description (2022)
In late 2021 I decided to read through the vast majority of the Elric Saga, and I documented all mentions of geography within the world of Elric. I focused primarily on the western continent - where Melnibone and The Young Kingdoms are situated. Once I had finished my research, I wrote my findings into a sort of geographical compendium, and it came to around fifty pages of research by the time I had finished reading the final book in the saga; Stormbringer!. From the research, I felt confident that I could make a realistic and true-to-Moorcock atlas of the Young Kingdoms, finishing the first version of the atlas in February 2022.
The Atlas was created using PhotoShop 2020, and is the product of countless enjoyable hours of reading and writing. I enjoyed every second of my Elric odyssey, and I hope you all appreciate the fruit of my labour of love. 

(2023)
The classic Cawthorn-made Map of the Young Kingdoms has served Moorcock fans well for many years, however with later Elric releases featuring new locations and nobody updating the map, it seemed only natural to expand upon Cawthorn's vision. In this revision, I have included the frozen north region featured in The White Wolf's Song (1994), and have fleshed out sections with extra content from Elric: The Making of a Sorcerer (2007) graphic novel, as well as content from Master of Chaos (1964) and others. These map updates/expansions were completed in December 2023.

With the release of his latest Elric Novel; The Citadel of Forgotten Myths (2022), Moorcock expands further on the geography of the Young Kingdoms, and even goes as far as to create a whole new 'side' to this egg-shaped planet; an area called the 'World Below'. I have created my own interpretation of the World Below if you are interested, the link is below:
