Ramelin’s Alphatia, 8 miles per hex v1

Following his mammoth Alphatian Empire map in January 2018, this was Jose’s first full-resolution standalone map of Mainland Alphatia. It was also his first to include Shiye-Lawr, thus making it also his first complete map of the island continent. It was a huge map by itself, and a truly wondrous achievement — especially given the astounding detail inherent in Bruce Heard’s Alphatia maps.

Other changes since the Alphatian Empire map included revised coastal waters, with less shallow water connections to the surrounding lands, as well as other general tweaks.

Strangely, although it included the revised Imperial Territories, Jose did not include his second version of Qeodhar in the northwest. He would revisit this map later in the year to rectify this.
