Chimpman’s Sea of Dread Ocean Topography
This map was about contextualising the deep waters of the Sea of Dread. John did that by adding X6’s Serpent Peninsula map to his previous composite maps, Master Template and Coastlines, revealing that there was in fact a deep sea trench in that area as well as in the central Sea of Dread. With this in hand, he was able to find a different solution for the Roister Trench south of Ierendi Island: he connected it to the western depths rather than the Abyss in the east.
