What if maps could sing?
In the realm of Cartographers, every line etched across the wilderness of Nalos tells a story—of duty, of cunning, of legacy. Inspired by the award-winning board game by Jordy Adan, we’ve crafted a unique multimedia tribute that breathes life into the parchment: an original soundtrack of 8 immersive songs, poetic lyrics that echo the queen’s edicts, and vivid illustrations that leap from the map sheets themselves.
🎵 Music Forged in the Wild
Each track in the soundtrack follows the journey of the royal cartographers through the seasons. From the regal call to arms in Mandate of the Queen to the eerie tension of Ambush in the Wildlands, and finally to the bittersweet farewell of Mapmaker’s Legacy, every composition captures the shifting tone of the game. Musical themes explore:
- Quiet spring beginnings
- Tactical expansion and adjacency
- The looming threat of Dragul incursions
- End-of-season evaluations by royal decree
Every song is paired with original verses, telling the story of ink-wielders who shape the kingdom not with swords, but with symmetry.
🎨 Art That Lives on the Map
To visually accompany each track, we’ve created hand-crafted, thematic illustrations steeped in the game’s world. These artworks blend fantasy cartography, aged parchment textures, and the aesthetics of the game’s original map sheets and explore cards.
Each piece reflects a unique element of the cartographer’s craft—from serene farmland patterns to chaotic monster invasions—unified by a painterly, magical mapmaking style. The imagery was designed under a shared artistic vision:
“A living medieval map where the land responds to the quill, and the story is told through lines, light, and land.”
