Comments
This map is a composite of lots of small ones, with some additional info from 24 mile per hex and non-hex sources.

Notes on Updated map
- The Orc’s Head Peninsula took a lot of tweaking, due to the incompatibility between 8 and 24 mile hex maps. I used two different positions with the 24 mile map, as well as referring extensively to Adamantyr’s great Orc’s Head Peninsula map for terrain ideas. It’s not the same, but I used all the best bits from his map — for which, many thanks to Adamantyr!
Western Herath seemed too bland as pure heavy forest, so I added a couple of small details. Also, I added some villages at logical points around the city of Shavraim. I’ve asked Bruce for input here, although he’s pretty busy right now with the ongoing Calidar Kickstarter. I’m sure he will be able to come up with some names for this area — it was quite a surprise to realise that it doesn’t actually have an official province name. (I checked all the pertinent sources and came up empty. Please let me know if you know anything more!)
And of course the Richland/Grassy Coast area is presented as it was on the Red Steel maps, which is to say essentially undeveloped.
Let me know if there are any corrections. There must be some, as it’s a massive map.
