Mar 12, 2007 11:35:04 Here's another 24-miles map of the Known World I've made for our Mystaran Demography project at the Italian MMB. I post it here also becouse perhaps some of you can be interested in it.

The map is updated, i.e. the 24-miles hex terrain types, borders, etc. have been positioned using a 24-miles grid overlay over the 8-miles GAZ maps. This was done becouse canon KW 24-miles maps were largely inaccurate and inconsistent with maps from the GAZs. So do not be surprised if you find some difference between known KW 24-miles maps and this one. ;)

Here's the blank version of the map:

Some explanations:

Atruaghin: The reference here was Thorf's updated map, since GAZ14's one is known to be wrong.
Heldann/Norwold Border: The solution adopted here follows the one used in my Norwold 24-miles map, in the topic Norwold from the Italian MMB.
Isle of Dawn: Exact position of the IoD has been determined accordingly to TM2 map.
Karameikos: Reference here is again Thorf's map of the Grand Duchy, in particular the version with forested hills (which is more consistent with GAZ1's description of the area).
Northern Wildlands: Rivers featured in the map are borrowed from OldDawg's Northern Wildlands GAZ, even if I've kept canon terrain types.
Sind/Glantri Border: Here the CoM's map has been followed.
Thanegioth Archipelago: I've added some minor island, following Mark Howard's 8-miles map of the area, at the Vaults.
Wendar: I made some minor changes to Thorf's map to keep canon 8-mile map pieces of Wendar (mostly from GAZ3).

Last but not least, you'll find a small island some hexes south of Trader's Island. This is the isle featured in the AC10 adventure "Isle of the Storm Giant" - this is an addition to canon maps.

Another mountainous island many hexes south of Hattias - not featured in canon KW 24-miles map - is the Burning Mountain, an island featured in XS1 "Lathan's Gold".

I think that's all. Hope you like it!

I've done two versions of the map: one with geographical features and regional names, one with political borders and towns - but at present they're both in Italian... :P

I'll try to make an English version of the second map (at least) as soon as possible, even if it isn't on my list of things to do (at least not among the first ones). ;)
