Mark’s Isle of Dawn South, 8 miles per hex
This was Mark’s final map in 2006, before taking an extended break from his mapping projects.
The map adds labels and some details to his previous full Isle of Dawn, 8 miles per hex map. In addition to Thibault Sarlat’s terrain, Mark also referenced Andrew Theisen’s Caerdwicca and Eastern Shadow Coast maps from 2000. As a result, the area of the map around the Straits of Barbarossa is far more complete than the rest.
It’s a huge map, and clearly Mark still intended to add more detail to it when he set it aside. Perhaps that’s why he never posted a reassembled version, adding labels to the full map. He would, of course, come back to the Isle of Dawn many years later to remedy this situation, though.
