The Schley map (also known as the DMG 2024 map) is the common name for the map of the Flanaess by Mike Schley from the Dungeons Master's Guide (2024), published by WotC.
Schley is also known for his City of Greyhawk map from Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk (2007).
From the presence of some regional names which change or are no longer extant later in the timeline, this map appears to be set in 576 CY.

Description
The Schley map is a map of the Flanaess similar to, and covering the same area as, the Darlene map and Lazzaretti map.
Schley has stated in several interviews on various websites, podcasts, and livestreams that he based his work on the Darlene map.
Differences from the Darlene map
The map uses a few updated terms for regions.
Most of the terms previously existed prior to this map as the "proper" or full names of nations, but were not the names used on maps, while others were only on some previous maps, e.g.—not on the Darlene map but present on the later Lazzaretti map.
| Label on this map | Label on previous maps | New or previously existing? |
|---|---|---|
| Aerdiaak | North Province | New |
| Arn | Barony of Blackmoor | New (barony previously known only by name of largest settlement (Blackmoor), barony now called Arn)[note 1] |
| Ahlissa | South Province | Previously existing as "fief of Ahlissa"[1] |
| Chakyik | Tiger Nomads | Previously existing[2] |
| Ekbir | Ekbir | Previously existing, changed from "Caliphate" to "Sultanate"[note 2] |
| Wegwiur | Wolf Nomads | Previously existing[3] |
| Huntinglands | Rovers of the Barrens | Previously existing as "People of the Plentiful Huntinglands"[4] |
| Shar | Scarlet Brotherhood | Previously existing as as "Kingdom of Shar"[5] |
| Label on this map | Label on previous maps | New or previously existing? |
|---|---|---|
| Hestmark Peaks | Glorioles | New; renamed (related to Hestmark Highlands) |
| Label on this map | Label on previous maps | New or previously existing? |
|---|---|---|
| Froghome | Shiboleth | New City's location indicates it being renamed.[note 3] |
| Label on this map | Label on previous maps | New or previously existing? |
|---|---|---|
| Medegia | See of Medegia | Previously existing, just removed "See of" from label. |
| North Kingdom of the Cruski | Ice Barbarians | Previously existing as "Kingdom of the Cruski"[6] |
| North Kingdom of the Fruzti | Frost Barbarians | Previously existing as "Kingdom of the Fruztii"[7] |
| North Kingdom of the Schnai | Snow Barbarians | Previously existing as "Kingdom of the Schnai"[8] |
| Plains of the Ulakandar | Plains of the Paynims | Previously existing (orig. from Ulakand) Removed disparaging religious term[note 4] |
Additionally, compared with the Darlene map, some labels for previously existing cities are on this map which were not present on the Darlene map.
- Restenford was added (in the Spindrift Isles)

- ↑ The name "Arn" is a tribute to Dave Arneson, a co-creator of D&D.
- ↑ "Caliph" is an Islamic religious title referring solely to Muslim men related in some way to Prophet Muhammad, and is not used to refer to people outside Islam. "Sultan" is a more accurate word for an equivalent to a "king".
- ↑ "Shibboleth" is a "custom, principle, or belief distinguishing a particular class or group of people," used to exclude outsiders or hinder those not belonging to the same group.
