Ramelin’s Alphatia, 8 miles per hex v2

Following his Alphatian Empire mega-map in January and the first version of his standalone Alphatia map in March, Jose created a this second standalone map of Alphatia in August 2018. It’s just as impressive as the first one.

His focus this time was on updates to surrounding lands and sea depths; mainland Alphatia itself remained almost identical. The most major change was the addition of Qeodhar v2, and there were also quite large changes to the sea depths to its south, especially around the coasts of Frisland and in the Alphatian Sea. The other big change was the deletion of Bellissaria from the southeastern corner of the map. This was likely caused by its being shifted slightly southwards in the Western Skothar map, thus pushing it just off the edge of this map.

Jose also cropped the map tighter around Alphatia, showing less of the surrounding lands. This was very likely an attempt to make the huge map more manageable; I later did the exact same thing with my own map of Alphatia.
