Sturm’s Norwold, 24 miles per hex
Francesco shared this map of Norwold from his campaign in June 2011, as part of a discussion of taiga in northern Norwold at The Piazza.
Using Andrea Francolini’s map as a base, he added all the official and fan-made details he could find. This included Kaarjala, Littonia, and a myriad of dominions throughout Norwold. He also changed the lands north of the Great Bay, replacing some of the forests with grasslands and adding tundra all around Kaarjala. The terrain itself is close to Andrea’s — especially the mountains — but Francesco added extensive forested hills throughout Norwold. He also made some major tweaks to the Heldann/Denagoth area. In essence, he took Andrea’s terrain and added a whole host of new details.
The skill and attention to detail in this map hints strongly at what Francesco was about to do next.
