RobJN’s Sylvan Realm 1900 BC
In 2015, Robert used both Håvard’s map and the original CM7 map of the Sylvan Realm to create a view of the area back in 1900 BC. As with all of Robert’s work, this is part of his Thorn’s Chronicle continuity. However, in this case there isn’t really anything that would conflict with most other versions of Mystara.
The main addition here is the placement of the elven clans, brought here by Ilsundal a few centuries previously. All of these can be seen in the first map, adapted from Håvard’s 2007 map.
For his second map, Robert used the original CM7 map as a base. The clans’ placement is much the same. New are a few adventure sites and a couple of place names.
