Below The Root World Map restoration

Below the Root shipped with a poster of the world map, with a grid so you could fill in the screens yourself as you explored. (I never had one, for reasons, so I used graph paper.)

I want to display a cleaner version in the game itself, so here’s the process it went through:

The first cleanup kept losing the drawing along with the blemishes. So I had Claude Opus and ChatGPT Astra each trace the line art to SVG on their own, everything except the grid.
