Thibault’s Atruaghin, 8 miles per hex v3
Atruaghin, together with its neighbour, Sind, was the next region Thibault turned to after converting his Heldann and Wendar maps to Hexmapper format. This is perhaps unsurprising given that these three regions, all located on the fringes of the core Known World area, have long been high on many a fan’s list of priorities.
In any case, he based Atruaghin on his previous maps, using GAZ14 as the primary source. Although this map came after other fans (notably Andrew Theisen) expanded the Atruaghin Plateau to match 24 mile per hex maps, Thibault didn’t make any changes to his own conception of it at this time.
This standalone map was never finished, although the version appearing on the edge of Thibault’s Darokin, 8 miles per hex v2 (2004) had been more complete, with the plateau, rivers, coasts, and the nation’s border all marked in. It’s worth considering that this file likely predates that map, and therefore comes from earlier than the July 2005 of the file that remains to us.

Chronological Analysis
This is a fan-made map. It was published in 2005. The updated Atlas version of this map is Atruaghin, 8 miles per hex. See also Appendix C for annual chronological snapshots of the area. For the full context of this map in Mystara’s publication history, see the upcoming Let’s Map Mystara 2005. (Please note that it may be some time before the project reaches this point.)
The following lists are from the Let’s Map Mystara project. Additions are new features, introduced in this map; Revisions are changes to previously-introduced features; Hex Art & Fonts track design elements; and finally Textual Additions are potential features found in the related text. In most cases, the Atlas adopts these textual additions into updated and chronological maps.
