Actually, you can right-click on the Map link, and choose Save As..., or you
can click on the link, and then right click on the map itself and choose
Save As.

Both should work, although if you're using a browser other than Internet
Explorer, the right-click menu options might have a different name.

Having said that, I'm in the middle of a site redesign (in preparation for
releasing version 0.2 of the map).  I have a lot of ideas for additional
maps as follows:

1. Different Scales (1 pixel = 10 miles, 1 pixel = 100 miles, etc)

2. Replication of the maps referred to in the novels (such as the map Kragar
shows Vlad in "Dragon")

3. Travel Maps (that is, maps that show a particular route traveled, such as
Piro's first trip from Adrilankha to Dzur Mountain)

4. An Interactive Map - It has also been suggested that I provide an
interface that would allow one to choose the scale and portion of the Empire
to map, possibly also selecting what types of information to include (show
rivers y/n, show political labels y/n, etc).

However, my intent was to hold off on such maps until we had agreed upon a
map worthy of version 1.0, so all that is probably a ways down the line.  I
figure version 1.0 will indicate "this map isn't going to be changing every
two months", and so it can be used to generate the above additional maps.
