Ramelin’s Known World, 8 miles per hex v1

This was one of a set of seven large maps Jose posted to his DeviantArt gallery in March 2017. Surprisingly, this was his first Known World trail map — although he had mapped out all of the individual nations (and more) back in 2015, it was his first time stitching them all together.

The map doesn’t just stitch together the 2015 and 2016 maps; it also adds numerous little updates throughout.

There were numerous tweaks to deep waters and shipping lanes (especially coastal shipping lanes); new details in the largely unclaimed lands of the Great Waste; the addition of the new Heldannic Reich; border tweaks, particularly in the provinces of Darokin; and so on.

A few errors also crept in — inevitable in a map of this complexity. The most glaring is the accidental omission of labels along the Shire Coast, with all of the settlements between Athenos and Thantabbar, as well as the small islands to the south, lacking their labels.

All in all, it’s a wonderful trail map, and without a doubt the most detailed yet of the Known World area.

Finally, I should note that the Known World is the area of Ramelin Mystara with the most divergence from the original. Ethengar, Heldann, Ylaruam, and the Adri Varma Plateau are the most affected by Jose’s changes.
