Ramelin’s Ispana, 8 miles per hex v1
Jose posted this map on Pinterest in November 2015 along with his Ekto and Trikelios and a few other maps. Like the Ekto/Trikelios map, this one developed a small part of the Isle of Dawn at 8 miles per hex.
On TM2, this was Provincia Septentriona, but Jose changed it to Provincia de Ispana, likely to provide a homeland for the Ispan culture. Accordingly, he made it a lot more heavily populated and changed all the names from Latin to a more Spanish style. The Shadow Coast became La Costa Sombría, Cape Gabrionus became Cabo Gabrionus, Tigris Plains became Planice de Leones, and so on. Apart from the Tower of Lucinius (Torre de Lucio), Laticea, Latveil (Latveii), Perdidis, the ruins of Fjellstue, and the volcano of Nova Gabriona (Nueva Gabriona), Jose added all of the settlements on the map. He also displaced Perdidis from its original location, placing Puerto de Málaca in its original location.
All in all Jose did some major development on this region, but like his reinterpretations of Ethengar and Ylaruam, the result is somewhat different from the official take on the region. Unlike those maps, there was far, far less here of importance in the first place, so the change is a lot less drastic.
