| Cartography is the study of maps, and map-making. As virtual worlds become larger, and more complex, the need to provide the players with maps becomes ever-more important. Some worlds are even taking the brave step of supplying in-world maps for the characters. The question is, how should these maps be presented, so they fit the world? This section serves several different purposes. Firstly, it provides a link to historically accurate maps and plans. Secondly, it discusses map-making, and the value of different approaches to mapping the world.
