    This is my ‘Home’, my starting point – as it may have been for many gamers…
    Just as the maps of Middle Earth are for reading Tolkien.

    Thank you for bringing this together
    Both the map and the sources used, I’m sure to be wandering these lands again soon…

      Glad to hear it, Malcolm! I hope to be helping my kids to wander through these lands someday soon. 😉

    Wasn’t the Wufwolde referred to as the Wulfholde at one point? I want to say maybe in B10, but I don’t have that handy for reference at the moment.

      I just checked, and you are correct, Andrew. B10’s Karameikos map does indeed have Wufwolde. As if we needed yet another variation for this name! 😉

      My recent thinking for things like this is that in fact all the names are equally valid, being nothing more than variations used by different people to refer to the same thing — or indeed being used by the locals to refer to the same thing in different ways.

      So the names on my updated maps shouldn’t really be taken as stating that the other names are wrong; it’s just that it’s not possible to list all the variants on each map.

    Where does Thunder Rift fall in the maps you made? I may have missed it mind you.

      I don’t think there’s a completely official placement anywhere. Personally I would not be averse to placing it, though.

    I thought the Lost Valley was supposed to be more-or-less directly north of the Foamfire river? Was your spacing of the name more of a “crowding” issue? (There are an awful lot of names crammed in that area….)

      This is the can of worms that is B10 vs. GAZ1 Karameikos. B10 is the only source for the exact location of the Lost Valley, but unfortunately GAZ1 moved Threshold around, making it very hard to reconcile the two. I’m afraid I still don’t have a conclusive answer to this. It will be coming, though, and quite soon, as I will need to tackle this thorniest of issues in Mystara 1987.

      With apologies for the pun, Rob. 😉
