    Hi Torf
    Nice…you used my Tunnel Map.;)
    nice map..and indeed the awkwardness of the 60 degeee tilt was something to get used too, especially in the 1 mile elargement of the hex scale size.

    asa to naming variations; the names you use here I assume to be just the Dwarven Names… the ones I used then, I assume to be Thyatian/Darokinian…for example the Hradal Valley and the ‘hidden crystal valley’ are the same.

    one question though…
    You placed several depth lines within the lake…no problem, actually great, but what depth is each color?

      Hi Robin!

      Yes, I wanted to stick to just dwarven names as much as possible. I realise that there are humans here, too, but I think mixing the place names too much spoils the theme — it’s my primary regret about Wendar, actually, that we went too far in dividing up the land into immigrant cultures. My preference is for local names, with a maximum of one or two names from the incoming culture(s).

      In any case, I was thinking about the depths as I drew them in, and decided to let the community decide. The model for Lake Klintest is presumably Loch Ness, which is about 300 m deep in the deepest parts. So I was sort of thinking 50 m per division. Though of course Mystara tends to work in feet.

      What do you think?

      I held off on adding too much extra stuff — your map already shows all the fine details, so there’s no need to try to cram them in.

    […] (If you’re a Mystara fan, you’re probably saying, “What, just eight months?! You posted a map earlier today that took you ten years!!”) Suffice it to say, this is a big […]
