Dunwall, Why Are You Like This?

so, some of you might have been wondering why out of nowhere I’ve been liking/reblogging so much dishonored stuff

well first off maybe i just like the games it’s not like they’re one of my favoriter series of all time, shut up

but really, I’ve been gathering as much reference images as i can for a possible attempt at DM'ing a TTRPG set in the universe of Dishonored (for those curious, I’m using Blades in the Dark, not the offical rpg, since…i don’t like the offical game’s rules or price. BitD is amazing anyway.)

And so, I needed a map of Dunwall. Now, I remembered several maps of Dunwall in both games, so I just went on to google.com and did some searching, found a nice, high-quality map pretty fast.

But then I ran into an issue. Or rather, a few.

This map is…

Empty as hell. Where’s the Legal District? Where’s Wyrmwood Way? Wait, you’re telling me Slaughterhouse Row is down there?No. Nu-uh. This isn’t gonna work.

So, I rolled up my sleeves and after hoursof cross referencing notes from the games, the books, and speculations of a bunch of devoted fans, I gave fleshing out the city of dunwall my best shot. My version is here:

You can tell it’s been edited, but all things considered, I think it turned out alright. If anyone thinks that the locations I landed on for the districts (The Legal District HAS to be nearish to the river and in the north-east side of the city, so despite the fact that the compass on the og map in dishonored is wrong- that’s true, look it up and compare it to the one in Dish2, so I went with that little square) please, let me know! All the names/colorings aren’t too difficult to change, and I want this to be as accurate as we can get.

Feel free to use this for whatever reference you need!

also, yeah, the Housing District is made up but i just wanted to put something down there and it made sense for an area that has two major business outlets would be situated near a large hub of houses
