stephen king - Dark Tower world map


I'm living in Brasil and have no way to find the Stephen King's Dark Tower world map.


I can see parts of this map by googling, but not the entire map:


Hambry map


Barony of NEW CANAAN map



This map may represent the entire world (refered by the books), but is not where the fragments I show (more detailed) came from.



Answer



There are a bunch more maps in that same style on the Dark Tower wiki, including the one at http://darktower.wikia.com/wiki/File:Barony_of_New_Canaan.jpg -- I did a reverse google image search for that one to find similar images on other sites (to do a reverse search you just have to click the camera icon in the search bar on the image search page), and I came across a page at http://creativevisions.scificincinnati.com/gunslinger_born_1_page.html which shows that this map comes from the first of the Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born comics. So, I would guess that all the images from the wiki in the same artistic style come from those comics (whose different titles are listed in the article here announcing the release of the Dark Tower Omnibus which collects the entire comics series), probably not part of a single giant map since many of the wiki images have borders around them (like this one of Hambry that you included in your original question).


Also, one of the reviews on the amazon page for the Dark Tower Omnibus mentions that it comes in two volumes, the first volume constains the main story of the comics while the second is devoted to supplementary materials (that might have been published in installments in the original comics issues):



The second volume in the set collects all the material that has previously been left out of the graphic novel releases of the Dark Tower. Each of the original comics featured a chapter of the story and then a brief essay on Roland's world by Robin Furth. This volume collects these essays together for the first time. Also collected for the first time are the Gunslingers Guidebook, the End-World Almanac, the Guide to Gilead, Marvel Spotlight: Dark Tower, and the Dark Tower Sketch book. Added to this are more than a hundred pages of sketches with commentary.



The End-World Almanac and the Guide to Gilead seem like the most likely spots that maps would be included (one of the reviews on Guide to Gilead mentions that the Barony of New Canaan is one of the locations highlighted, so it wouldn't surprise me if that first map I linked to would be found in that section).

harry potter - Did Dolores Umbridge Have Any Association with Voldemort (or Death Eaters) before His Return?

I noticed that Dolores Umbridge was born during the first Wizarding War, so it's very likely she wasn't a Death Eater then (but she is pretty evil -- who knows?). After that Voldemort was not around in a way that could affect many people, and most wouldn't know he was planning to rise again. During that time, and up through Voldemort's return (in Goblet of Fire ), did Umbridge have any connection with the Death Eaters or with Voldemort? Was she doing what she did on her own, or was it because of an association with Voldemort or his allies? Answer Dolores Umbridge was definitely not a good person. However, as Sirius points out, "the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters". Remember that he also says that he doesn't believe Umbridge to be a Death Eater, but that she's evil enough (or something like that). I think there are two strong reasons to believe that: Umbridge was proud to do everything according to the law, except when she trie...

What is the etymology of Doctor Who?

I recently decided to watch Doctor Who, and started viewing the 2005 version. I have the first two episodes from the first season, and I can't help but wonder what is the etymology of the name "Doctor Who"? And why does the protagonist call himself "the Doctor" (or is it "the doctor")? Answer In the very first episode of Doctor Who (way back in 1963), the Doctor has a granddaughter going by the name "Susan Foreman", and the junkyard where the TARDIS is has the sign "I.M. Foreman". Barbara, who becomes one of the Doctor's companions, calls him "Doctor Foreman" (probably assuming that is his name given his relationship to Susan), and Ian (another early companion) does the same in the second episode, to which the Doctor says: Eh? Doctor who? What's he talking about? "Foreman" is most likely selected as a convenient surname for Susan to use because it happened to be on display near where the TARDIS landed....

story identification - Animation: floating island, flying pests

At least 20 years ago I watched a short animated film which stuck in my mind. The whole thing was wordless, possibly European, and I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine it... It featured a flying island which was inhabited by some creatures who (in my memory) reminded me of the Moomins. The island was frequently bothered by large winged animals who swooped around, although I don't think they did any actual damage. At the end one of the moomin creatures suddenly gets a weird feeling, feels forced to climb to the top of the island and then plunges down a shaft right through the centre - only to emerge at the bottom as one of the flyers. Answer Skywhales from 1983. The story begins with a man warning the tribe of approaching skywhales. The drummers then warn everybody of the hunt as everyone get prepared to set "sail". Except one man is found in his home sleeping as the noise wake him up. He then gets ready and is about to take his weapon as he hesitates then decides ...
