Ramelin’s Surshield, 8 miles per hex

Jose had previously mapped Surshield in his Bellissaria v2 map earlier in the year, and this was just a slight update. Aside from adding in the revised version of the neighbouring Kingdom of Horken, there were just two new named icons, two waterfalls, and a few extra monster labels. The revised Ramelin Mystara wide Legend appeared here for the first time, and it seems clear that Jose designed it specifically for this map, as his older Legend wouldn’t fit nearly so well.

This version would appear largely as is in the final Bellissaria map in 2018, albeit with a new label for Kingdom of Surshield — which was left off this map.
