Ramelin’s Orc’s Head Orclands, 8 miles per hex

November 2015 was a momentous month for Jose’s project, as he shared more than thirty individual maps to his Pinterest page over a couple of days. The first set covered most of the Known World, while the second finished that off and then moved west to cover the Serpent Peninsula and the Savage Coast.

This map from the second set was an extract from Jose’s earlier (but unreleased) Orc’s Head Peninsula map. See the post for that map for an overview of the changes and additions in this one.

Fan-made Map by Jose Ignacio Ramos Lomelin (November 2015)

This is an original map created by one of Mystara’s excellent fan cartographers. For more information on the cartographer, including a gallery of all their maps, see also Appendix M: Mappers of Mystara.
