Zendrolion’s Traladara 458 BC to 350 AC, 8 miles per hex

This map was the fourth map of seven in Simone’s History of Karameikos article — the midpoint. It covered the period of rebirth after the Dark Age. Some relevant quotes from the article:

Toward the end of the first millennium BC, Marilenev arose to become the major city of Traladara, followed by Halavos (built near the site of old Lavv), Lugsid (a settlement born of the shore of Lake Windrush), and other towns.

The end of the Dark Age also saw the first successful attempt at uniting the Traladaran communities into one kingdom.

The turn of the first millennium AC marked the beginning of an age of rapid demographic growth for Traladara.

The modern extent of Karameikos was already somewhat visible by this era, although there would be all sorts of events and disasters in the intervening time.
