Thibault’s Traladara, 8 miles per hex 960 AC

Here’s an interesting little thing: pre-Karameikos Traladara, 10 years before Stefan Karameikos would arrive to claim it. The file is dated February 2001. It seems clear that Thibault made it around the time of the file’s date, but I haven’t been able to track down where it might have been posted. Nor have I discovered a matching numbered key.

What does seem clear is that it isn’t hugely different to 1000 AC maps in terms of settlements — mostly they are simply smaller than their present-day versions, and likely at least some will have different names, too.

If anyone has any more information on this map, please post it in the comments below.

Edit (2025/4/26): I discovered a post to the MML on this topic by Mike Harvey. It’s on the same topic, has the same filename, the same date, and it includes a key, which I will include below. Mike explains a little about the map:

Traladara is Thyatian-occupied. A governor and garrison are in Mirros (Specularum), but other than taxes the rest of the country is ruled by Traladaran lords, with little or no Thyatian presence. Most of the Traladaran lords are small holders, with 55 sq miles or less (one 8-mile hex).
