The Peninsula of the Palm

This map illustrates the Peninsula of the Palm, the primary setting of Guy Gavriel Kay's fantasy masterpiece, Tigana. The peninsula is divided into nine contentious provinces, each with its own distinct identity and history. Notable locations depicted include the provinces of Asoli, Chiara, Corte, and the conquered land of Tigana, which has been magically stripped of its name and is now known as Lower Corte. The map also features major geographical landmarks such as the Gulf of Corte, the various mountain ranges like the Montandas Braccio and Montandas Sparoni, and the rivers that weave through the landscape. The intricate detail captures the political and physical geography of a land caught between two powerful sorcerers, Brandin of Ygrath and Alberico of Barbadior, providing a visual guide to the epic struggle for memory and identity that defines the novel.
