(Open the picture in a new window for full scale resolution)
I have continued with expanding the Störkburg Valley map from the previous post, and now I'm done detailing the lands of Schultze-Böhnstadt (and the Sjelle Islands, which are a small part and would just hang on there otherwise). The rest of the map is outlined but not filled, except the sole Flossian fortress facing the western entrance of the Störkburg Valley.
The former hex map in all honesty looked kind of ugly and I lost the large resolution version, so this will help me tremendously when planning campaigns, especially because the map is now to scale (see the red streak at the top of the map), measured in the simplest way, in days of walking.
The Union on the Flosse has introduced the Flossian mile to the peoples of the world. They marched an army up and down roads, measured the averge total distance taken, and divided it by ten. That is one Flossian mile.
This is useful because it's easy to calculate days of march from different points of the empire, for example a traveller on foot would take a week to walk from Karrotenbad to Böhnstadt, with day marches only and rests calculated in. Of course couriers make the distance much faster.
(Keep in mind that the Napoleonic way of forced marching over incredible distances was totally unknown to 18th century generals, and their main task above all was to preserve their army by sparing the soldiers' feet and giving them ample provisions anywhere they might be. So these are very conservative estimates, let's say 1 Flossian mile equals two kilometers or 1.24 imperial miles.)
