Geoff’s Cestia and Oceania, 72 miles per hex

The third page of Geoff’s Davania maps came more than a year after the first, in November 1997, covering the far northeastern corner of the continent: the Aryptian Savannah, Cape Eriadna, and most of all Cestia and Oceania. Geoff’s Cestia placed the nations mentioned in the Princess Ark series, together with their key settlements. He also invented the Isles of Steam, building on the Sea of Steam label from the Hollow World Set map, and wrote articles detailing Cestia and describing the Isles of Steam.
