HWA3 Shahjapur, 8 miles per hex
The conclusion of the Blood Brethren trilogy of Hollow World adventures brought with it the trilogy’s only major new hex map: Northwestern Shahjapur, located in the Anathy Archipelago, west of the main continent of Iciria.
The map itself has a strange rotation that effectively puts west at the top of the page, with the usual hex columns running east to west. This is 90º different from most Mystara maps.
But even stranger still is the massive proliferation of cities around the Bay of Djamballa, suggesting overcrowding on a scale never seen anywhere else in Mystara’s maps. And yet the adjacent lands seem all but empty.
It’s without a doubt one of Mystara’s strangest maps.

About Replica Maps
Unlike Updated maps, Replica maps are exact (or sometimes colourised) replicas of primary source maps. These source maps form the main source material of the Atlas of Mystara, from which all of the updated maps are made. Put simply:
- Replica maps present the world of Mystara as the original source materials depict it, warts and all. No attempt has been made to fix errors of any kind — even typos. Replica maps are always marked as such on this site.
- Updated maps present the Atlas of Mystara‘s consistent view of the world, with all errors, alignment issues, and so on fixed. Anything not marked as a replica map is an updated map.
