Ramelin’s Kendach, 8 miles per hex
This slice was the third piece of the Isle of Dawn that Jose shared. The first two were Ispana and Ekto & Trikelios in November 2015. He had also completed the northern tip on his Northeastern Brun v1 and v2 maps, though he hadn’t shared those yet at this point.
The subject was the central Isle of Dawn, focusing on the provinces of West Portage and Kendach, with much of East Portage also featured. The western fifteen rows of hexes came from TM2. For the rest, Jose referenced fan sources including especially Sturm’s Isle of Dawn Central, as well as adding his own new details.
Over the next few days he would share another four maps of the Isle of Dawn, slowly working up to a full 8 mile per hex map of the island continent.
