Ramelin’s Imperial Territories, 8 miles per hex v1

Following his completed version of Blackheart the previous month, Jose shared the second to last undeveloped Alphatian province in February 2016. As with Blackheart, he took the fragments from the edges of Bruce Heard’s maps of surrounding provinces and completed the missing sections, adding in some extra details as appropriate. With this map complete, only Shiye-Lawr remained unmapped.

The most significant of Jose’s additions must surely be the immense and foreboding Worldwound Gash. Bruce had hinted that the Imperial Territories were a dangerous, wild place, and this detail fit that image perfectly — even the name “Worldwound Gash” is highly evocative. It leaves us wanting to know more, and makes the lack of a gazetteer or even a single article for the region all the more painful.

Jose would revisit this map later the same year to make some tweaks to his design.
