Misool

The southernmost of the Raja Ampat islands, a maze of limestone stacks and hidden channels with painted rock shelters and few people.

It sits directly on the line from Seram to the Onin coast and is where a boat hides from weather on that run (board). This place lies past the 130 E edge of the sheet and cannot be drawn; it is recorded here for the campaign with its coordinates and has no map part.

Where the sources disagree

Evidence: Geography and the campaign board only. The campaign board marks it 'likely'. The later Raja Ampat network of raiding and tribute is not read back.

"The campaign board" is OMNIA's working map. These notes record where its earlier claims were checked against the sources.

On the map: Off the frame: no map part.
