LoZompatore’s Meriander, 24 miles per hex

This small kingdom in eastern Bellissaria received the least updates in Michele’s project, with just an added road and some terrain embellishment. In his own words from his MMB post:

In the official maps this kingdom has absolutely no roads. I added a road between Alchemos and Cairnport because its really too useful to be ignored. It allows trade between the two cities avoiding to sail around the whole Meriander peninsula.

I did not add any other road, supposing that the ruling class of wizards (Alchemos has a famous magical university) likes the kingdom to be mostly wilderness.

I added some forest hexes and I changed to forested hills some hills in the south, according to PWAI info about wide forests in the south.
