Ramelin’s Gulf of Mar, 8 miles per hex
Together with his Aryptian Peninsula map from the same day, Jose created this map to expand his coverage of Davania all the way south to the Vulture Peninsula. He had previously mapped the Vulture Peninsula (in two versions), but this was the first time in Ramelin Mystara to connect it up with the regions to the north. There was still a missing area between Arypt and the Jungle Coast, but that would appear a few months later.
As with the Arypt map, the main base here was Thibault’s Eastern Davania, 8 miles per hex. Aside from Vanya’s Rest, there really hasn’t been a lot of development of this region, and Jose left it that way. He did add some fine terrain detailing of his own, as usual — roughing up the coastlines, adding small islands, a few terrain labels, and so on.
