[Out-of-production Rotring Persian Red ink on parchment cardstock, 10 mil laminated, tyvek hole reinforcers. (The awesome Dark Librarian core patch is the work of Daniel Davis of Steam Crow and placed here to also contextualize the catalogue as a Monster Rangers' achievement. Look them up at http://monsterrangers.com -- they're wayyyy cool.)] #    #    # Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in  the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires'  Norse Gods and Giants  at age seven.

Illustrator Sam Valentino's " Map of Midgard " from his Art Sam-ples blog. Made for The Making of Middle Earth book, the author wanted to show where Tolkien got the concept of "Middle-earth" as the name for the world, which is, of course, from the Norse Lore. And everything always goes back to Norse Lore. #    #    # Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in  the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires'  Norse Gods and Giants  at age seven.

This modern Vanaheim meme we suspect might've been flip-flopped with the earlier Asgard one, since a formidable wall is more associated with the Aesir, though one could counterargue that the foundation rocks harmoniously integrate with the crenelated wall and the trees within the defenses would be a Vanir design.
