Zendrolion’s Traladara 1500 BC, 8 miles per hex
In addition to his demography of Karameikos map and article, Simone also produced a long History of Karameikos article for Threshold Magazine #1. It featured a series of seven maps tracing the land of Traladara/Karameikos through the ages, of which this was the first.
This map’s placement in the article didn’t make it entirely clear precisely what time period it was intended to cover, but luckily Simone included some dates in the legend, the earliest of which was 1500 BC. I have therefore labelled the map with that date. To quote from the article:
Around BC 1500, a Nithian private expedition led by the Ptahr-al-Dar clans came from the sea and began to settle the coasts of the land corresponding to modern Karameikos; inland, they found the descendants of the Taymora, who they called the “People of the Night”, and swiftly subdued them.
As with his demographic map, Simone used coloured shapes to detail the map. Although they were close, they didn’t quite conform to the hex grid, giving the map a nice, organic feel.
He would continue to track the history of Traladara in six more maps, all the way from the Nithian age here up to Thyatian conquest.
