Dragon 155 Cestia and Oceania
The second flight course map featured in Bruce Heard’s Voyage of the Princess Ark series, in Dragon Magazine. This map is significant because it shows the position of the equator, in addition to providing some geographic and political names for the region. The simple line art maps were eventually replaced with full colour hex maps when the Princess Ark reached Sind and moved on to the Savage Coast.
