Chimpman’s Known World, 8 miles per hex Coastlines with Cities
In this map, John took his Coastlines design and gave it some bolder colours, and then marked in Taymoran cities on top of that. The project was really beginning to take shape at this point, moving ever-closer to a full map of ancient Taymora. He explained in his post at The Piazza:
I’ve got one more map for everyone’s consideration. Here I’ve labeled the sunken Taymoran cities in yellow. Hopefully they are easy enough to see. Is there any information we can get from their placement that might help us to better draw the historical shorelines? I’m assuming that many of these were coastal settlements, but it’s probable that not all of them were.
It would be a couple of years still before John produced a finished map of the area, but this was another major stepping stone along the way.
