LoZompatore’s Central Davanian Cultures

Michele noted that this map was “an attempt to place on a map various cultures of Central Davania, especially those created by Alex Benson (Divergans, Hornidd humanoids, and others)”. He had previously posted about the Divergans at The Piazza, receiving replies with information from Alex himself in that thread.

Content-wise, this is another tour-de-force research map from Michele, combining numerous sources into a single map. He listed all of these in short form in the article he posted together with the map.
