LoZompatore’s The Highlands 500 AC, 24 miles per hex
Michele used the Dragonlord Trilogy novels (and their accompanying map) to put together a hex map of Glantri 500 years before the present era. All of the marked settlements and terrain labels come from the Dragonlord of Mystara map, while the terrain is a combination of previous hex maps and the terrain shown on the map.
As usual, he didn’t stop at the map, but also derived information from the text. His post to the MMB at the time included more analysis and some extrapolations.
All in all, it’s a great little historical map that makes the oft-overlooked map from the novels a lot more accessible to the community.
