Chimpman’s Known World 1000 BC, 24 miles per hex v2
Two days after posting his first draft of Known World, 1000 BC, John returned with an updated version. Taking feedback and discussion in his Piazza thread into account, he noted the following changes:
- Made Atruaghin plateau remains smaller. Added volcanic terrain on the southern shore of Atruaghin and Ierendi isles.
- Removed most of the desert from Alfheim and replaced with grasslands. A smaller desert still remains near the Altan Tepes.
- Enlarged the area of the Land of Black Sands.
- Moved Ranak to occupy the same hex as Ylaruam City.
After this, John’s focus changed to eras further in the past, closer to the Great Rain of Fire and the Broken Lands incident. These two early maps gave a clear hint at where he was headed.
