Ramelin’s Aryptian Peninsula, 8 miles per hex
This map marked a triumphant return to Jose’s expansion in Davania, this time moving east from the Jungle Coast. The two maps don’t quite fit together, and it would be a few months before he finished a larger map showing the join between these areas.
Everything on this map except for Cestia (in the southeastern corner) was new, appearing here for the first time in Ramelin Mystara. As usual, Jose brought in all the details and information from other sources he could find — although in terms of maps, these were (and still are) few and far between. The primary source was Thibault’s Eastern Davania, 8 miles per hex, which had a lot of very nice detailing for all of the Aryptian Savannah.
Jose added many little things of his own, including more rivers and lakes, and he also expanded upon the features of other cartographers. As we had come to expect, it’s a tour de force in Mystaran mapmaking.
At the same time he also completed a map of the Gulf of Mar region to the south, extending coverage down to the Vulture Peninsula.
