LoZompatore’s Specularum
In mid-2008, Michele turned his attention to the capital of Karameikos, Specularum. To assist with Allan Palmer’s project to add detail to the city, Michele posted a research map combining locations from a number of other sources — including Dungeon #13, the novel Dark Knight of Karameikos, Wrath of the Immortals, and XSOLO. This allowed him to expand the list of keyed locations from GAZ1’s 14 up to a very respectable 42.
Rather than creating his own map from scratch, he marked up a scan of the original GAZ1 map.
