Throne of Glass Map: Guide to Erilea, Wendlyn & Beyond

Fans of Sarah J. Maas’s Throne of Glass series know the feeling well: you’re deep into a chapter, a character mentions a city or a region, and you flip back to the front of the book trying to find the map. This article breaks down the key locations across the Throne of Glass map — from the kingdoms of Erilea to the Fae strongholds of Wendlyn — so you always know where the story is headed.

Main continent: Erilea ·
Eastern continent: Wendlyn ·
Major countries on Erilea: 5 (Adarlan, Eyllwe, Fenharrow, Melisande, Terrasen) ·
Capital of Adarlan: Rifthold ·
Capital of Terrasen: Orynth ·
Location of Endovier: Northern Adarlan

Six key facts about the Throne of Glass world, one pattern: the bulk of the series takes place across two continents connected by a vast ocean, with a few outlier regions that expand the world in later books.

The implication: the map is relatively simple in its broad strokes — two main continents and a handful of kingdoms — but each location carries heavy narrative weight that makes precise geography matter for readers.

Where can I find a Throne of Glass map from the book?

Official maps in the book editions

• Every standard edition of Throne of Glass includes a map of Erilea in the front matter (Throne of Glass Wiki).
• Later books in the series also feature maps of Wendlyn and other regions as the story expands.
• Readers who own physical copies can find the map between the title page and the first chapter.

Fan-made PDF downloads and scans

• The Throne of Glass Wiki hosts a digital version of the book map for reference (Throne of Glass Wiki).
• Reddit communities like r/throneofglassseries often share scans and fan-created HD versions for large printing.
• Pinterest hosts numerous fan art maps and high-resolution prints created by the fandom.

The pattern: official maps exist inside the books themselves, but digital access is almost entirely community-driven. Fans who want a screen version have to rely on scans or third-party recreations.

What are the major locations in Wendlyn and Doranelle?

Wendlyn overview and key cities

• Wendlyn is a separate kingdom located far to the east of Erilea, beyond the Great Ocean (Throne of Glass Wiki).
• It is home to the Fae and plays a significant role in Heir of Fire when Celaena Sardothien travels there.
• Key cities in Wendlyn include Varese and the port town of the same region.

Doranelle: capital of the Fae

• Doranelle is a major city located on the Southern Continent, not on Erilea or Wendlyn proper (Throne of Glass Wiki – Locations).
• It is associated with the Fae courts and serves as the seat of Maeve, the centuries-old Fae queen.
• Eldrys is the capital city of Doranelle, described in later books as a beautiful, ancient Fae stronghold.

The catch: many readers assume Wendlyn and Doranelle are the same region because characters travel to them in rapid succession. In reality, they are separate landmasses with different political structures.

Where are Orynth and Endovier on the Throne of Glass map?

Orynth: capital of Terrasen

• Orynth is the snowy capital of Terrasen, located in the northern part of Erilea (Throne of Glass Wiki).
• It is surrounded by the Staghorn Mountains and has a distinct northern climate.
• Orynth is the ancestral home of Aelin Galathynius and the center of the rebellion against Adarlan.

Endovier: the salt mines of Adarlan

• Endovier is a labor camp located in the northern part of Adarlan (Throne of Glass Wiki).
• It is known for its brutal salt mines where prisoners, including Celaena Sardothien, are forced to work.
• The camp lies in a remote, mountainous area near the border of Terrasen.

Why this matters: Orynth and Endovier are only a few hundred miles apart on the map, which makes Celaena’s escape from Endovier and her eventual return to Orynth feel geographically plausible. The proximity also explains Adarlan’s ability to threaten Terrasen directly.

What is Eldrys on the Throne of Glass map?

Eldrys within Doranelle

• Eldrys is the capital city of Doranelle in the Southern Continent (Throne of Glass Wiki – Locations).
• It is described as a sprawling Fae city with ancient architecture and magical elements.
• Eldrys appears prominently in Empire of Storms and Kingdom of Ash.

Role of Eldrys in the series

• Eldrys serves as the political and cultural center of the Fae in the Southern Continent.
• It is where Maeve holds court and where key alliances and betrayals unfold.
• The city’s location on the Southern Continent places it far from the main action in Erilea, which shapes the power dynamics of the world.

The trade-off: Eldrys is one of the most visually described locations in the series, but its distance from Erilea means it only becomes central in the later books. Early readers may not appreciate its significance until the story shifts focus.

Where is Otterland located?

Otterland region overview

• Otterland is a small region within the continent of Erilea.
• It is mentioned briefly in the series and does not play a major role in the main plot.
• Some fan discussions place Otterland near the coast of Adarlan, though official sources are limited.

Otterland’s placement on the map

• Exact location is debated among fans; some maps show it near the southern tip of Adarlan.
• The Throne of Glass Wiki does not list Otterland as a distinct region with confirmed borders.
• Readers speculating on Otterland’s location rely on contextual clues from character travel routes in the books.

The pattern: Otterland exemplifies a broader uncertainty in the fandom — several minor locations lack official map markers, leaving interpretation to readers. For a definitive reference, the book’s official map remains the best guide, even if it omits smaller regions.

“One of the most beautiful book maps in this world.”

The consequence: readers who want a physical, print-quality Throne of Glass map are largely dependent on fan recreations and scans. For casual reference, the in-book map serves its purpose, but for collectors or display purposes, the options remain limited.
