LoZompatore’s Isle of Dawn Nonhuman Populations

Following on from his Ancient Migrations map of precataclysmic Mystara, Michele created this map to examine a much smaller area. This required a different, more detailed base map, and we can see here that he used a modified version of the continental and/or world maps. It seems to be a traced map with additions (the plateaus, for example).

The need for a better map to show this kind of thing was likely pressing at this point, and although this map stood alone, it was a stepping stone to the more complete map Michele later created.

I have been unable to find an English version of this one, likely meaning that Michele only posted it to the Italian MMB. Nevertheless, the content should be easy enought to decipher for most Mystara fans, even without any knowledge of Italian.
