Ramelin’s Virdin, 8 miles per hex
This was the final part of Ramelin Mystara’s Silver Coast, completing the task of developing Francesco Defferrari’s 24 mile per hex maps into 8 mile per hex. The area in question was the curving peninsula at the northwestern tip of Davania, with the nation of Virdin alongside the Jkl’Ok Tribes and the Gombar colony of Muda. Although Jose chose Virdin as the filename for the map, it could just as well have been Final Bay, as that also features prominently.
This map followed the same pattern as the others in the series, mostly sticking to Francesco’s original designs. The development was mostly in the terrain itself, and large areas were left feeling a little empty as a result.
With the Silver Coast completed, all that remained was for Jose to make a single map combining the whole area — which in fact he did, the very same day.
