Zendrolion’s Beastmen Migrations 4,500 to 3,000 BC

This rather attractive map is one of Simone’s most recent works, the first of a pair of maps exploring beastmen migrations before and after the Great Rain of Fire. The two maps were presented in a single PDF, but I have split them into separate files.

Try as I might, I have been unable to find where Simone posted these maps, although I seem to recall it might have had something to do with textual descriptions of beastmen moving “north” into Hyborea — which would be unlikely in a precataclysmic Brun, as Hyborea was not the far north of the world until after the cataclysm and the axis shift.

If I’m remembering correctly, this map explains this by positing an “Old Hyborea”, allowing the beastmen to move north as described in the texts (likely GAZ10).

The other map in the set shows the situation after the Great Rain of Fire and the axial tilt shift.
