Christian’s Borea, 24 miles per hex
The last of Christian’s major maps from 1999 was this treatment of Northern Brun. It covers the whole area to the north of his previous three 24 mile per hex Brun maps, encompassing the area of Borea in the east and the Sylvan Realm on the west coast.
The treatment of nations is rather different from other areas, with a whole host of tribal territories marked rather than civilised nations. The area covered is truly vast, and yet not quite as vast as it may seem when map projections are taken into account.
As with his other Brun maps, this map would remain highly influential for many years afterwards. Thibault Sarlat reprised it in his world-spanning 24 mile per hex maps, as did Andrea Francolini, and Francesco Defferrari some years later. Each successive mapper of course put his own stamp on the terrain, but Christian’s work is nonetheless still visible beneath it all.
