Sturm’s Known World, 8 miles per hex v2
When he posted his Known World, 8 miles per hex v1 map in March 2013, Francesco’s stated aim was to use it as a base for further development of the Known World. As mentioned in the previous map’s post, he actually began this process, although he didn’t get very far with it.
This map, from just a few days after the original, is the product of his efforts, and it’s also largely as far as he took the project.
There are two major areas of addition: he added a lot of settlements to Karameikos, likely based on his Karameikos, 3.2 miles per hex v2 map, the development of which was still ongoing; and he filled in all the strange gaps of Rockhome with a scattering of villages throughout the nation.
While Karameikos has seen a massive amount of development over the years, the same cannot be said for Rockhome. The significance of this map to the overall scheme of things therefore lies in the additions to Rockhome. Sadly, the new villages did not receive names.
