Håvard’s Milenian Empire, 600 BC v1
Håvard produced two versions of this map over a short period of time. He started by posting this first version to a thread at The Piazza. It outlined his thoughts for the original Outer World Milenian Empire at its height, around 600 BC. The first posted version apparently included an error with the date, listing it as 600 AC, but this is the corrected version.
His vision of Milenia involved placing Hollow World Milenian settlements in the indicated region of Davania, including familiar names such as Corisa, Laroun, Dophius, and even Lake Agrisa. In the thread, he explained it as follows:
The date 600 BC is a bit arbitrary, but I figured by then, the Empire had reached its full extension and was already establishing colonies on the Vulture Peninsula and expeditions towards Pelatan. That also helps when placing neighbouring civilizations, though I am not certain about how long some of those neighbours have been around. I suppose it can be argued that many of the features of the map resemble the Hollow World version too closely, but I thought that might work better than making up cities of my own.
This prompted feedback from the community, culminating in a second map less than a week later.
