Ramelin’s Oceania, 8 miles per hex v1
As with his Cestia map from the same time period, Jose’s Oceania map was the first ever at 8 miles per hex. Unlike Cestia, this first version of Oceania was already mostly complete. While he would revisit it later more than once, there would be only very minor updates.
This isn’t really surprising, because by definition Oceania is a rather lifeless and barren land, even if it is rather vast. Jose already had all the geography done, including place names for various features. The only thing that went unlabelled in this first version really was the ruins.
