Chimpman’s Mogreth 2300 BC, 8 miles per hex v1
Following his first forays into 8 mile per hex mapping with the Shimmering Lands a few months earlier, by the end of August 2009 John had created a second map bordering the first: Mogreth. John explained in his post at The Piazza:
This map of Mogreth in 2300 BC covers areas of current day (1000 AC) Ylaruam, portions of the Northern Reaches, Thyatis, and the Isle of Dawn, as well as lands that sunk beneath the sea in 1700 BC.
The map was clearly very much still under construction, with a 24 mile per hex guide still visible at the bottom of the map. This map predated his switch from a 24 mile per hex base map to a new 8 mile per hex base map; indeed, it was likely the cause of the switch, given the timing — he produced his 8 mile per hex Master Template just a couple of days later.
It’s also notable as being the apparent first use of Moria Citadel, the font John went on to use throughout his 2300 BC maps.
He would return to this map for updates and a final version in the succeeding years.
