When Jose shared his Colony of the Horn map on Pinterest in February 2016, he also finalised maps of the neighbouring countries of Jibarú, Wallara, and Herath, though he didn’t post these latter three at the time. Unlike other countries of the Savage Coast, Herath contained one region that was largely undeveloped in either Princess Ark or Red Steel maps. Jose took this long-neglected province and gave it a name, along with a town, some villages, and lighthouses.

Along with a few other maps such as his Alatian Islands, Jose posted this map to Pinterest in late November 2015. This one focused on the area of Ekto and Trikelios on the Isle of Dawn, adding new terrain details and named settlements. Jose developed these in the same style as Bruce Heard used in his Alphatia maps (2012-2013), with metalworking terms for Ekto and shipbuilding concepts for Trikelios.

In Jose’s archives, there were a number of maps labelled as 2015 in the corner, though the file’s date stamps were somewhat later. This is one of those maps. Jose’s first pass of the Alatian Islands added a lot of terrain detailing, as well as scattered new settlements. However, he left Aeria pretty blank — though he would come back to add more in the next version a couple of years later.
