Thibault’s Isle of Dawn, 24 miles per hex
Although he started mapping the Isle of Dawn at 8 miles per hex as early as 1997, Thibault didn’t produce his first 24 mile version until late 2000. As a result, it received upright hex art from the first — although in an interesting twist, the version of Alphatia that appeared in its corner was an older version with rotated art.
September 2001 was a month of major revisions for Thibault, and he didn’t neglect the Isle of Dawn in his updates. First he gave it a new, slightly more subdued palette; then he replaced Alphatia with a newer version.
Finally, in April 2002 he revisited the map one more time, expanding it to include a wider area, with parts of Norwold and the Known World, as well as more of Alphatia — though Ochalea was cropped somewhat.
The map itself is a faithful rendition of the original Dawn of the Emperors 24 mile per hex version of the Isle of Dawn.
