Ramelin’s Pearl Islands, 8 miles per hex v1
November 2015 was a momentous month for Jose’s project, as he finalised more than thirty individual maps over a couple of days. The first set covered most of the Known World, while the second finished that off and then moved west to cover the Serpent Peninsula and the Savage Coast.
This is the last map from the first set, and as you can see the focus is now moving away from the Known World. The subject is the Pearl Islands, which Jose dubbed the Exarchate of the Pearl Islands — part of the Thyatian Empire, of course. This is an area that had seen few fan treatments up to this point, and Jose incorporated designs from Thibault’s Pearl Islands, 8 miles per hex map — especially its treatment of Nuar — while adding a great amount of small details of his own devising. Of particular note are the named settlements, the extensive reefs, and of course Jose’s usual coastline and sea depth tweaks.
