If you don’t wish to be spoiled, LOOK AWAY NOW!

So some of you may be aware of what appear to be a leaked set of maps for the upcoming Helm’s Deep expansion. Currently viewable over on Contains Moderate Peril(linked here: http://www.containsmoderateperil.com/helms-deep-map/), the maps are in various states of ‘TBD’.
After taking a look at these maps, I decided to use what would appear to be the main map for the Westemnet(where we shall be going) and edit in various points of interest, as well as the names for the various regions. However, this does require me to make some very important clarifications.
Firstly, these are by no means confirmed by Turbine. They *could* be complete fabrications, although I very much doubt that is the case.
Second, even if they are legit, they are very obviously not complete, and therefore may well see some very major changes before they go live.
Thirdly, and most importantly, the labels for the third image were added in Microsoft Paint.
By me.
So yeah.
The more ‘complete’ looking maps:
The partially done ‘main map’, with labels added by myself in white:
Let me know what you guys think!
Amendment: So it turns out somebody managed to get hold of a similar TBD image of the East Rohan map, and merged it with my edited version shown above. It gives a good idea of the size of the zone to come.
This was a great find by Roger
I would be shocked if these were not real but you never know for sure. Great job Ethelros!
Interesting.
Have fun
It might be just me but it looks like the second half of Rohan is much bigger based on the new image. This really gets me excited for the new zone!
*covers her eyes*
It looks like the name of the one region should be “Stonedeans,” not “Stonebeans.”
Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaah.
That makes sense.
A lot more than Stonebeans.
Beans. Honestly. >_<
Yeah if you look closely that is a D. It is a really weird though. It also makes for a great joke now. Assuming this map is real, I will always think of it as Stonebeans now.
So dean could come from the old English “dene” which means a vale or wooded valley with a small river.
Stonebeans are what Stone Giants eat in their chili!
