Zendrolion’s Emerlas, 3 miles per hex Overlay

Simone added an 8 mile per hex overlay to O2’s Emerlas, 3 miles per hex map. It was paired with an Alfheim, 8 miles per hex map showing a 3 mile per hex overlay. He posted both of these maps at The Piazza in the Geographical Mapping forum’s Alfheim map thread. For more discussion of this issue, see the post for the other map.

Although his Piazza post was in July 2008, these two maps were very likely much older. Indeed, in the same post, Simone dismissed the idea of using the placement as is, due to conflicts between O2 and GAZ5’s version of Alfheim. This map neatly displayed the problem: the well-established town of Ainsun (GAZ5) lay just a short distance away from the village of Dorneryll (O2).

The red labels on the map were Simone’s additions, mostly in Italian. They indicate that he almost certainly posted these maps to the Italian MMB some time previously.
