Ramelin’s Alatian Islands, 8 miles per hex v2
Although it would appear that Jose didn’t share this at the time, it belongs with a large group of maps he posted in July 2017. The first batch covered northwestern Brun, while this one came with the second batch dealing with Bellissaria and the Alphatian Sea region.
It was his second pass at the Alatian Islands, and the main changes were to Aeria, which had previously been left pretty blank. Now he gave it a detailed district around its capital, Feather Fall, complete with new settlements with wind-themed names. Also new was the small mountain ridge in the east, with two new towers. Aegos got a new fort on its eastern tip, and Jose added two new sea names, the Glowing Sea between Aegos and Ne’er-do-well, and the Clyde Sea between Aeria, Aegos and Caerdwicca on the Isle of Dawn. The latter also received an update, bringing it into line with the newer version of Caerdwicca on the Sea of Dawn Islands map.
The splits between the seas around this area were always rather ambiguous. It would appear that Jose was making an attempt to split them up a little more logically and clearly.
He would return to the map for one more version in 2018.
