LoZompatore’s Nithian Empire, 1000 BC
Although Michele created this map to illustrate his article proposing a new theory on the origins of the Thyatians, it also clearly follows in the footsteps of his previous maps, Nithian Expansion v1 and v2. As such, it was the next update to a theme that Michele has long been refining over the years. A couple of years later he would expand this map once again.
Due to the topic at hand, this map shows not just Nithian holdings at that point in history, but also those of the Thyatians. It posits that the Nithians helped the Thyatians rather than subjugating or enslaving them.
