Alan’s Foamfire Valley, 2 miles per hex

Throughout June and July 2001, following on from his Eastern Karameikos map, Alan worked on maps from B10. Many of these were encounter maps, and therefore outside the current purview of the Atlas. (For more on his CC2 maps, see also the article for Alan’s Mystara.)

As with Eastern Karameikos, Alan’s Foamfire Valley map was a pretty straight reproduction of the original. However, for this map, Alan also reproduced the mountain ridge lines — a rather painstaking tracing process — as well as changing the numbered encounter locations into geographical labels. And unlike Eastern Karameikos, he included the hex grid.

A quick overlay of his B10 maps reveals that Alan stayed true to the originals, and did not attempt to reconcile the inherent inconsistencies between any of these maps.

Below you can see my CC3+ conversion, followed by Alan’s original CC2 export from 2001.
