Zendrolion’s Central Altan Tepes, 2.7 miles per hex

In March 2009, Simone shared an English translation of his MGAZ1 The Central Altan Tepes PDF. He included this detailed map of the area, and even provided it as a separate download. As he explained in his post at The Piazza:

I’ve managed to finish the English translation (and pdf version) of my “Central Altan Tepes mini-gaz”, which I wrote a couple of years ago as the setting of an Italian adventure written by a friend of mine … .

The subject of the map (and the gazetteer) is the Karameikos-Ylaruam-Darokin-Thyatis border region, roughly from Castellan Keep in the southwest to Parsa in the northeast. Simone added extensive details in the many of the valleys of the region, with a focus on the northern half of the map — though there are little details throughout.

I have not yet been able to track down the original Italian release of either the map or the gazetteer.
