Ramelin’s Central Isle of Dawn, 8 miles per hex This map updated the province of Redstone and the kingdom of Hillvale, as well as West Portage, to Jose’s newest version. He created it from an excerpt of his full Isle of Dawn map, and as with the other maps in the series, there were no changes.

Ramelin’s Thothia, 8 miles per hex This was one of a set of excerpts from Jose’s Isle of Dawn map, providing the smaller regions with individual maps. Others were Caerdania and Meridiona, Ekto and Trikelios, Ispana and Kendach, etc.. As with the rest, there were no new details in this map — it was a one for one excerpt from the larger map.

Ramelin’s Ispana and Kendach, 8 miles per hex Along with Caerdania and Meridiona, Ekto and Trikelios, and others, this was an update to Jose’s old 2015 maps for the region. He took an excerpt from his full Isle of Dawn map to create it, but in this case he created a single map to take the place of two older maps, Ispana and Kendach. Given that the map is barely any larger this way, it seems like a good decision.

Ramelin’s Ekto and Trikelios, 8 miles per hex v2 As with his contemporary Isle of Dawn maps such as Caerdania and Meridiona, this was an update to an old map, using the full Isle of Dawn map as a base. The content is identical, and this was almost certainly a straight excerpt of the larger map. Compared to the first version, this map included much more of the surrounding lands to the west and north, with the edge of Alphatia’s coast peeking in at the corner.

Ramelin’s Caerdania and Meridiona, 8 miles per hex v2 Shortly after finishing his first version of Caerdania and Meridiona, Jose added quite a few more settlements and feature labels in his Isle of Dawn map. This map was an excerpt of the larger one, with no additional changes.

Ramelin’s Izonda, 8 miles per hex This was one of two excerpts Jose prepared from his huge Samarak map, probably for enhanced usability. The other featured Pelatan, with some updates not present on the larger map; this one showed Izonda, with no changes at all. It was completely identical to the version on the larger map.

Ramelin’s Pelatan, 8 miles per hex A few days after finishing his massive Samarak map, Jose prepared two excerpts from it, likely for easier reference. This one featured the southern region of Pelatan, and it included some labels in the southeastern-most region that had been left out of the Samarak map. Strangely, it also missed a whole strip of Izonda — clearly bare along the top and top right of the map.

Ramelin’s Samarak, 8 miles per hex Just one week after he completed Fricana, Northern Davania, and Northeastern Davania, Jose finished this new map of Samarak. Some years later he shared it to his DeviantArt gallery. Everything south of the 20ºS line was new in this map: the Golden Matriarchy of Pelatan and its surrounding nations, along with the southern provinces of the Invincible Dictatorship of Izonda.

Ramelin’s Northeastern Davania, 8 miles per hex The third of Jose’s set of three massive Davania maps in February 2018 was this map connecting the Jungle Coast and the Aryptian Peninsula with the Vulture Peninsula in the south, as well as Cestia and Oceania in the northeast. By and large it was a composite of previous maps, with little changes — except in one place: Cestia. The previous version of Cestia had begun the process of adding detail, but left much of the island without settlements.

Ramelin’s Northern Davania, 8 miles per hex Following on from — and including the whole of — his massive map of Fricana, Jose expanded the map to cover the entire northern coast of Davania, all the way to the end of the Silver Coast. The tip of the Arm of the Immortals is visible in the top left corner. The bottom half of the western section is all new — pretty much all of the Invincible Dictatorship of Izonda and its western neighbours.

Ramelin’s Fricana, 8 miles per hex v1 February 2018 heralded a huge leap forward for Jose’s Davania maps, and an amazing milestone for the Mystara community as a whole. He completed not just one but three different maps of northern Davania, encompassing the entire northern part of the vast continent. This map focused on the northeastern part, which he named Fricana. I have been unable to find any references to this name outside of Ramelin Mystara, but it seems fitting as this part of Davania was based on Jurassic Africa.

Ramelin’s Aryptian Basin, 8 miles per hex With this section, Jose added another block of terrain to the west of his previous Aryptian Peninsula, Gulf of Mar, and of course Vulture Peninsula maps. This still left a lot of territory unmapped between the Jungle Coast block and this one — but Jose was about to fill all of that in, too. Aside from the new part of the Aryptian Basin, this map introduced a flurry of small changes to the coast of the Gulf of Mar and Green Bay, adding small islands and other details.

Ramelin’s Meghales Amosses Desert, 8 miles per hex With his Alphatian Empire map completed, Jose moved back to Davania to further expand his mapping there. He shared this map on his DeviantArt gallery in late January 2018, presenting his first map of this area. It has a very slight overlap with his previous maps of the area: Adakkian Sound North to the west, Amalur to the northwest, and…

Ramelin’s Alphatian Empire, 8 miles per hex Considering that Jose’s earliest remaining map fragment was Frisland in February 2015, it would be fair to say that this map had been a long time coming. In the meantime, he had provided tantalising glimpses of a composite Alphatia map, with sections of the island continent appearing in his Sea of Dawn Islands and Norzee maps. He had also developed two of the “missing” nations in his…

Ramelin’s Oceania, 8 miles per hex v2 This was a minor update to Jose’s original map from just over a year before, but it was a good one: he added place names for the three ruins on the map. He also made a small adjustment to deep water in the Eversea. That pretty much sums up all of the changes. Fan-made Map by Jose Ignacio Ramos Lomelin (January 2018)

Ramelin’s Esterhold, 8 miles per hex v1 Jose’s last map of 2017 was also his first ever of mainland Skothar. Amazingly, he had previously only covered it on the edges of his maps of Bellissaria and Zyxl. It’s surprising that he had already mapped almost all of Brun as well as large areas of Davania without ever setting foot on Skothar. On the other hand, Skothar remains the most neglected of Mystara’s three continents — by official products, by fan creators, and indeed by fan cartographers.

Ramelin’s Davanian City States, 8 miles per hex In May 2017, while working on his Silver Coast maps, Jose cropped two sections from his Davanian Hinterlands map to create smaller maps of the Jungle Coast and the City States area. This was likely to have more manageable maps to work with, because larger maps can be rather unwieldy. Content-wise, he made no changes at all, and this map is identical to the larger Hinterlands map.

Ramelin’s Jungle Coast, 8 miles per hex Jose produced this map in the midst of working on his Silver Coast maps in May 2017. It was an excerpt from his larger Davanian Hinterlands map from the previous year, and he likely made it in order to have a more manageable, focused map of this part of the coast. The only difference between this map and its predecessor appears to be a slight change in the art for reefs.

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.

Ramelin’s Aryptian Peninsula, 8 miles per hex This map marked a triumphant return to Jose’s expansion in Davania, this time moving east from the Jungle Coast. The two maps don’t quite fit together, and it would be a few months before he finished a larger map showing the join between these areas. Everything on this map except for Cestia (in the southeastern corner) was new, appearing here for the first time in Ramelin Mystara.

Ramelin’s Ochalea, 8 miles per hex v2 Two years from his first take at Ochalea, Jose produced a second version. In many ways it was a complete redraw, implementing small updates throughout the island nation. He only added a few whaling symbols — everything else was already present — but he rebuilt it all from the ground up, adding definition to the coastlines, changing the courses of the rivers and giving them new bends and tributaries, and generally making the whole thing match Ramelin Mystara’s style.

Ramelin’s South Sea, 8 miles per hex Despite the title for this map (in its file name), this appears to be a map of the northwestern portion of the rather vast Bellissarian Sea. It’s not clear if Jose intended South Sea as an actual name, or just meaning the sea south of the area he had mostly been working on up until now. Either way, outside of the lands bordering it west and north, it’s a rather empty area of ocean.

Savage Baronies Savage Coast Savage Baronies was the second release in the AD&D Red Steel line. It was a companion to the main boxed set: where the first set covered the Savage Coast as a whole, this set concentrated on the Savage Baronies region. The books included small individual maps for each of the small nations, but the poster map included in the box featured the whole Savage Coast region.

This is the 500th Daily Map posted to the Atlas of Mystara. To celebrate this 500 day streak, I’m sharing a new replica I finished off just last month. This was a mammoth undertaking: eight months of work on and off to get it all redrawn. I confess I cheated with the grassland texture. Enjoy!

Ramelin’s Isle of Dawn, 8 miles per hex Following Jose’s first full map of the Isle of Dawn in his larger Sea of Dawn Islands map in March 2017, he produced and shared this tighter map of just the Isle of Dawn in November of the same year. However, whereas the previous map merely brought all the disparate parts together, this one instituted what can only be described as a flurry of additions throughout the Isle of Dawn.

Ramelin’s South Central Brun, 8 miles per hex v2 The first version of this map, likely from the previous month, had been a little incomplete. Jose now finished off the map, correcting those problems and adding new details besides. The main update in terms of details was incorporating the contents of his Sindh Desert v2 map from a few weeks earlier in the month. He expanded upon those, extending the new shipping lanes south around the Serpent Peninsula.

Ramelin’s Caerdania and Meridiona, 8 miles per hex v1 The southernmost tip of the Isle of Dawn had previously appeared in finished form in Jose’s Sea of Dawn Islands map. Now, he cropped an excerpt from that map to provide the area of Caerdania and Provincia Meridiona with its own individual map. There were few changes — mostly just the addition of five small settlements along the coast of Provincia Meridiona.

Ramelin’s South Central Brun, 8 miles per hex v1 The areas presented in this map had all been featured in previous maps, but the framing was new, collecting Hule together with the Great Waste and the Serpent Peninsula, all in a single map. This first version was a little scant in details around the edges of the map, suggesting that perhaps it was a work-in-progress of sorts. On the other hand, recent developments such as the islands around the neck of the Serpent Peninsula were present.

Ramelin’s Sea of Dread, 8 miles per hex v2 This was a highly focused update of Jose’s Sea of Dread v1 map from earlier in the year. It didn’t bring in recent developments from other maps, such as Great Waste and Serpent Peninsula or Serpent Peninsula with Islands, but instead concentrated on a single theme: improving the sea depths of the Sea of Dread. Given that the map itself was designed to showcase the sea rather than its surrounding lands, this makes a lot of sense.
