Ramelin’s Samarak, 8 miles per hex
Just one week after he completed Fricana, Northern Davania, and Northeastern Davania, Jose finished this new map of Samarak. Some years later he shared it to his DeviantArt gallery.
Everything south of the 20ºS line was new in this map: the Golden Matriarchy of Pelatan and its surrounding nations, along with the southern provinces of the Invincible Dictatorship of Izonda. That’s quite a chunk of terrain. As with most of his Davania work in this region, Jose used Francesco Defferrari’s Izonda & Pelatan, 24 miles per hex as his base, adding terrain details throughout. And similarly, he mostly refrained from adding settlements beyond those on the original map.
This map could certainly do with more development, but due to its sheer scope Jose’s priority was probably to first get it built. Further development of southwestern Davania is of course a long term dream of many in the community, so hopefully there will be future updates from both Jose and others.
