Ashtagon’s Kompor-Thap, 24 miles per hex
At the end of February 2025, Emma shared a small snippet of something entirely new: the Pateran nation of Kompor-Thap at 24 miles per hex, with larger 72 mile hexes also marked. She commented in a thread at The Piazza:
A small fragment of my current mapping project. Made using Worldographer and an expanded version of Thorf’s hex art.
This map is based on earlier work by LoZompatore (Michele Carpita).
As she noted, she had taken Michele Carpita’s 72 mile per hex map of Patera and begun converting it into a full 24 mile per hex, adding details throughout. This was just a small preview of her work — she followed up with the whole Patera map just a few months later.
This was just the start of Emma’s exploration of Patera. There would be much, much more to come.
