TThe Explorer Series is the core Art Realms collection: high-resolution map symbol sets for creators who want their worlds to feel rich, detailed, and ready to explore. Each set gives you a flexible visual library of cities, ruins, terrain, landmarks, borders, creatures, and narrative details — ideal for authors, RPG creators, worldbuilders, and cartographers shaping believable fantasy maps.
Use them in your favorite graphics program, or pair them beautifully with Nova Terra, our map creator web app, when you want to build a complete world map with layered detail and atmosphere.

Build maps with more variety, more atmosphere, and far less asset-hunting.
This 1200-image PNG map symbol set gives you a broad visual library for populating worlds, regions, cities, ruins, borders, battlegrounds, trade routes, and story locations. Instead of relying on the same handful of generic icons, you get a large, organized collection across many cultures, categories, and subcategories — ready to drop into your mapmaking process.
Use castles, temples, mountains, ships, animals, plants, weapons, monsters, bones, smoke plumes, page decorations, people, potions, terrain elements, walls, structures, heraldic crests, and map items to create maps that feel specific rather than generic.
Designed to pair beautifully with Nova Terra’s stamp tools, the set is also useful anywhere PNG assets are supported.
