Looks like we may have some 5e Realms maps out there in the wild. Check out Mike Schley's twitter page.

It is on the map (sorta); "The Shaeradim" is there, along with the Grey Cloak Hills. |

Maybe it's now magically shrouded and so it doesn't appear on the map? |

According to the 4e FRCG, Evereska is definitely still there, with a population of 22K. Since the phaerimm attack,
quote:
a century of relative peace has seen Evereska rebuilt
In the 'Ask Ed' scroll, Ed mentions that Evereska is one of the places to which refugees from Myth Drannor fled prior to the Shadovar/Sembian siege.
So it should definitely be there in 5e, as far as I can tell. |

They can all hang out in Elventree on the Moonsea I guess. Until 6th edition when they will have another RSE to destroy it too! Let's destroy Menzoberranzan a few times for a change.
Evereska is technically still there, though in a state not remotely like it was before the Spellplague.

Damn shame, but it could be restored/rebuilt. |

I see two mountain ranges, The Greycloak Hills, and another one just south of that. Comparing the 3E map of the same location, it seems to me the artist simply didn't label Evereska, the actual geography hasn't changed. I could be missing something, though.
If this map is for a particular adventure, then it's simply possible Evereska isn't relevant to the adventure. If you check out Mike Schley's maps, he's done one of the area around Neverwinter, but there are several different versions of the same map, with different points labeled to suit the product they are released with. |

Evereska is definitely missing, as it should be in or right around the Greycloak Hills area. I noticed that as well, so checked out the Evereska entry on the FR wiki, since I wasn't sure if 4e Realms obliterated it or not. Seems like it's still there, but is yet another ruin or "not as it was" location. |

Is Evereska missing or I am missing something? Neat looking, you guys have good eyes to catch typos.

Interesting that Sundabar isn't located on that map. ;) |

Yes, bit concerned by the typos. Otherwise wonderful.

There's typos and placement errors. Is that early work? But the art is pretty good! |

OK, now THIS is definitely a new 5E map. :D

He posts links for most of his updates on Google+ as well. His website is its own place, though.  |

Really? I just assumed this was new stuff from the nature of his posts. Given that I haven't seen any gaming material in years I guess it's easy for me to be confused.
Yeah, he's been making some of his previous art and cartography available to purchase as prints. He also is making the maps he drew for D&D encounters available for purchase as high resolution images you can print for games, or use on sites like Roll20. |

Also this is perhaps a testament to just how popular the drow are, first realms maps I've seen and they are of Menzo.
Those maps are old AFAIK. Aren't they the same that were included in 4e sourcebook about Menzoberranzan? |
