Geoff’s Akalis, 8 miles per hex

In mid-2010, Geoff was on a roll — after Ilyoris, he quickly followed up with Akalis, Selhomarr’s westernmost province. The project was moving towards completion at this point, with just two provinces left to detail.

Talking of detail, Geoff always added lots of little things for the eagle-eyed to spot, and make into an adventure. In Akalis, the most intriguing is surely Erian’s Gorge on the southern border, a winding valley leading to a small area of badlands and the ruins marked Tamathis.

As with Ilyoris before it, my version didn’t catch up until a year later, in July 2011.
