Ramelin’s Cestia, 8 miles per hex v2
One and a half years since his first version, Jose returned to Cestia to add more details. The main beneficiary was the Kingdom of Manakara — the main nation visited by the Princess Ark. It received more internal structure in the form of borders, roads, more settlements, more names, and so on. Aside from a small area in the far north in Morovoay, the rest of the island remained the same as the first version.
