Mark’s Myskatyr Island, 24 miles per hex Topographic
Mark didn’t post much in the way of new maps in 2023. This is the only one I know of, but it’s a very interesting piece of work. He explained on his blog:
This is something I’ve been thinking about for a while, a more real world “atlas” style map.
I’m still working on a few ideas about how I want to portray some information, but here is a draft of Myskatyr Island, sat off the north-western coast of Thonia.
It would be two years until we would see the fruits of Mark’s efforts with this new topographical style.
