Sturm’s Mogluur, 8 miles per hex

The fourth and last of Francesco’s early Davania maps covered the Sacred Lands of Mogluur, a rather sinister and highly aggressive nation of half-orcs. The earliest remaining file dates back to early 2003, at the same time as Eseri.

As with the other maps in the series, this one provides localised names for all the surrounding nations. So Schweidnitz, the castle in the upper left grassland area, gains the (presumably orcish) name Xeixininur.

The nation appearing on the eastern border of the map gives us our first up-close glimpse of Alol, here labelled Agloor.
