M5 Valley of Kings, 24 miles per hex
M5 included a few detail maps of the area around the Aurora River flowing down from the Upper Thothian Plateau. Of these, the Valley of the Kings map is by far the best, depicting a river winding through canyons until it reaches its delta and the coast.
The map uses the same hexes as the larger Isle of Dawn map, but printed much larger. My replica is larger still, equating to a 6.7 mile per hex map if compared to my regular hexes — five of which would fit inside each of these large hexes.
