Adamantyr’s Animal Kingdoms, 8 miles per hex

Following soon after the Barbarian Kingdoms, Adamantyr posted the “Animal Kingdoms” of Renardy and Bellayne, together with the Texerian colony of Terra Leãoça. The terrain in the north of this map is new, extrapolated from the existing terrain and/or Red Steel.

It’s interesting to note that Adamantyr went with the Princess Ark English-themed version of Bellayne rather than the Japanese-themed version in 1994’s Red Steel. Thibault Sarlat had done the same in his version of this map the previous year, and most successive fan cartographers also followed suit, including Ramelin Mystara, Matthew Fleet, and indeed the Atlas of Mystara.

Fan-made Map by Adamantyr (February 2000)

This is an original map created by one of Mystara’s excellent fan cartographers. For more information on the cartographer, including a gallery of all their maps, see also Appendix M: Mappers of Mystara.
