It is a first paper map for Midwood Isle add-on. Made in the same isometric way as Forgotten Vale and Soul Cairn paper maps for FWMF. Hope it will help you to navigate here and will add little bit of immersion. Mod continues series of paper maps for a Flat World Map Framework (FWMF).
Some things to know about this map:
- Map overall is precise but few terrain features, like standalone mounts or completely flat isles were changes slightly to look more realistic geo wise.
- Lastendell naturally has almost the same terrain as Midwood Isle itself, so it uses same drawn map. Mind please that roads and main settlements will be different. I consider this normal to not have precise map for a "spirit world", but if it will be highly requested I will think about adding changed map for Lastendell specifically.
- "To Skyrim" global marker moved closer to the land to fit the map working space.
- As usually I've added a little tribute to passed away modder. Kudos to those who remember the guy.
- Best FWMF package for this map is "FWMF for ... maps by Mirhayasu", it renders colors closest to original.
- For those who missed news, FWMF is fully compatible with AE now. I've added updated config file for Flat Map Markers SE/AE with Midwood Isle and Lastendell worlds, will update .json in FWMF FOMOD later.
Flat World Map Framework uses mainly vertical look at map, but allows limited inclination and rotation with held right button as well.
INI file with comments included in FWMF allows to tune map control (keyboard, mouse and gamepad), possible angles and blur.
Requirements
- FWMF
Installation
The archive is mod manager compatible.
Install FWMF FOMOD first (Fantasy Paper Maps package preferable). Make sure FMWF is the last in plugins list (only weather fixes or FWMF various patches may be lower), then install this mod normally and place it last in mod order.
Make sure Flat Map Markers config file (FlatMapMarkersSSE.json) has this part:
Compatibility
SE/AE/GOG compatible (1.6.640 including), but be sure to pick your exact Skyrim version during FWMF FOMOD installation.
Not compatible with map mods except FMWF.
Recommended Mods
Atlas Map Markers - Updated with MCM works perfect and smaller markers make map more readable. Just be sure to put Atlas' .esp before FWMF in load order.
Get along with most UI overhauls. Dear Diary UI and its skins are highly recommended.
Known Issues
None so far.

For mapmakers, modders and modlist authors
If you would like to create your own paper-like maps for Skyrim, its DLCs and add-ons, you just need to ask me in Discord - it is simpler than it seems. Some maps are technically ready for drawing already, for others I will provide detailed instructions what to do.
Modlist authors that wish to add FWMF maps to their lists and have requests to tune/fix some things, feel free to PM me, I will try to help the best I can.
