Chimpman’s Shimmering Lands 2300 BC, 24 miles per hex
The same day he posted his Mogreth 2300 BC, 24 miles per hex map at The Piazza, John posted his first map of the Shimmering Lands at the same scale. It was a development of his Moadreg map from the week before, but now with settlements as well as a lot more forests. A few of the settlements were named already; the Papyrus font is a hallmark of John’s early 2300 BC maps.
Strangely enough, as far as I have been able to see, he never released a finished 24 mile per hex map of his 2300 BC setting. Though a little out of date with later developments, this map remains a valid source for the area.
