LoZompatore’s Nithian Empire, 1020-970 BC
This map was an expanded version of the last version from May 2019. Michele produced it as part of an attempt to summarise and clarify his theories on the origins of various Mystaran populations. It was his fourth variation on such a map, following the original Nithian Expansion v1 (2006) and v2 (2008), and then his 1000 BC map (2019).
The main expansion here is the addition of (most of) Bellissaria to the east, including marked populations and labels.
