Ramelin’s Minrothad, 8 miles per hex
November 2015 was a momentous month for Jose’s project, as he finalised more than thirty individual maps over a couple of days. The first set covered most of the Known World, while the second finished that off and then moved west to cover the Serpent Peninsula and the Savage Coast.
Jose’s changes to Minrothad were very much along the same lines as Ierendi’s: roughened up coastlines, underwater features, a few extra labels, and some other small tweaks. The resulting map seems like a nice development of GAZ9’s original, with the added details providing some welcome extras without going overboard.

“Australus Island”? – Something about dawn island to the south? But their are several more such islands. And notice, it’s about a coast where it is remarkable that the dawn is from the south. Since all these island are on the northern hemisphere, having dawn in the south(-ish) is not remarkable at all. If the word behind “The Minrothad Guilds” is “Borealis”, the same holds there: The sun would come up more often in the south than in the north, but it’s not remarkably so. There’s a whole continent further north, where everywhere the sun tends to dawn in the south. It’s only close to the hole that sometimes the dawn is to the north.
