LoZompatore’s Dravish Civilization v1
In early 2006, Michele continued his look at placing somewhat obscure locations in Mystara. Having completed maps proposing locations for Tarylon and Koralgesh, he now turned his sights on Dungeon #6 and 7’s Dravish Civilization. This one didn’t need placing, as it was explicitly located on the northeastern shores of Yalu Bay, bordering on the Savage Coast. Instead, Michele worked up a theory using the peculiar geometry of the maps from Dungeon.
He clearly delineated the official information (marked in green) from his extrapolations (marked in red). It’s a fun theory, but I haven’t been able to find where (or indeed if) he posted it in 2006. But fear not — he posted a slightly adjusted Version 2.0 at The Piazza in 2008.
