Norwold & Alphatia, 138 miles per hex (1985)
I have made M1’s somewhat peculiar 138 mile per hex map consistent with the rest of the Mystara 1985 series, replacing coastlines and rivers with more detailed versions and adding in all capitals and cities that would fit. The terrain itself can’t really be made any more compatible than it already is, and really hexes of this scale are simply too wide a brush for it to matter.
Still, this is an important map for 1985, as M1’s was the only map to show a significant portion of Alphatia at that time.
Chronological Map (January 2022)
This map is part of the Mystara 1985 series of chronological maps. It is an updated map, incorporating all available sources and made internally consistent with other maps in its series. But it only uses sources published in or before 1985.
For more information, see Appendix C: Cartographic Chronology.
