Ashtagon’s Darokin, 8 miles per hex Labels
Emma’s first posted map was a very useful annotation on one of my maps. She added numbered labels to my 8 mile per hex conversion of GAZ11’s Darokin Borderlands map, thus enabling the community to begin the process of naming all the provinces. It was a really useful thing to have in the discussion.
The original map is lost to the years, but Sheldon Morris used Emma’s map as a base for his own map during the discussion, and that map is still with us. I have therefore reconstructed Emma’s original map; it’s my reconstruction that appears below. In a break from my usual Replica map conventions, I elected to keep Emma’s numbers and styling while increasing their size to make them more legible. Twenty years have not been kind to my eyesight…
If anyone out there reading this has a copy of Emma’s original map, please let me know.
