Agathokles’ Myoshima, 24 miles per hex
After extensive discussions on the Mystara Message Board, Giampaolo wrote a gazetteer for the Empire of Myoshima on Mystara’s second moon, Patera, which he released in 2007. This was the map to go with the gazetteer.
He based it on Giovanni Paniccia’s overview map of Patera from 2002, but adapted to the parameters of his design. Aside from the capital and the general outline of the three biggest islands, everything else on the map is new here.
The first version of the map that Giampaolo posted didn’t have proper coastlines or rivers. It was quickly superseded by a new version a few days later. (The earlier version is now lost to us.)
Giampaolo’s map of Myoshima was a milestone for the Mystara community, presenting one of the off-world nations of the setting in detail for the first time.
