Dr What found a good online repository of fantasy maps for sources if anyone's interested in contributing to this thread: http://afantasyreader.blogspot.co.uk/2009/04/index-of-maps.html?m=1
You wouldn't mind saying where you got these maps in the first place, would you?
Well Klime (at least I think it was Klime) made this one, if you haven't already seen it in the Map of Westeros thread.

Can anyone design a blank basemaps of the Naruto anime series? I tried to find a good map for me to play around with but can't find some good ones.

Random small planet. Feel free to use it, just keep the original name please. Arduinna.

Some old maps I decided to convert into blank basemaps.
hey i used one of your maps for my tl, since they were here i assumed it was ok.
These were maps I made myself for various now-aborted projects. I decided to convert them to the AH.com format for easier use.
Yes, that's fine. Just be sure to credit me.

Here's a map of a world covered in oceans of liquid Ammonia. It's a moon of a gas giant which formed with a peculiar quantity of Ammonia which was inherited by the accreting world, which is about the mass of Mercury (but much less dense, giving it about the diameter of Mars). It happens to inhabit a region at which liquid Ammonia is stable.
It's atmosphere consists of 75% Nitrogen, 11% Oxygen, 9% Methane, 4% gaseous Ammonia, and 1% trace gasses.
The atmosphere has weather systems like that of earth, with Ammonia rain, snow, clouds, and even hurricane analogs.
The oceans consist mostly of liquid Ammonia, with dissolved Alkali metals and salts which are used as energy sources by some types of life. Ice caps at the poles consist of solid Ammonia mixed with water ice. The small amount of water on Tloxipeuhca does not exist in a liquid state and is perpetually locked at the poles and in mountain glaciers. To any denizens of the world, it would be seen more as a mineral.
The life of Tloxipeuhca consists of plant analogues which are predominantly a bright to dark blue colour (the planetary system orbits an orange dwarf about 2/3 the mass of the sun), and give the world its common nickname, "Land of Lapis Leaves". Animal and fungal analogues also exist, and an extensive kingdom of chemosynthetic organisms which operate with Alkali metal and Methane chemistry are a major section of ocean life, and form a niche among the land plants, recycling their waste.
The moon also has a small tertiary satellite of its own (it is far enough from its parent to have a large Hill Sphere), a captured asteroid about the size of Mars' Deimos called Nexoxcho.
In the map, the oceans and lakes are marked with deep red, rivers are bright red, deserts are tan, mountain ranges are grey, biomes ranging from scrubland/steppe analogues to dense rainforests are denoted by gradations of blue, fertile river valleys are depicted in light green, the northern and southern cold weather biome is depicted in magenta, polar tundra analogue is depicted in cyan, and the polar ice caps are white.
