Geoff’s Jungle Coast—Aryptian Savannah, 72 miles per hex

May 1998 saw the final two pieces of Geoff’s Davania fall into place. This map filled in the remaining section of the Jungle Coast and Aryptian Savannah. All the rest was simply a reprise of finished areas. In the digital era, such a task can be completed with a simple copy and paste action; with a hand-drawn map, that of course is not an option, and Geoff had to painstakingly copy and colour these areas from scratch once again.

In fact, this map contains perhaps the only alignment error that crept into Geoff’s map, with the two rivers in the top left area of the Jungle Coast both a hex out of sync with their previous incarnations on the Adakkian Sound map. (The replica maps for both of these are normalised for compatibility.)
