Agathokles’ Karameikos Political, 3.2 miles per hex

A week after he shared his Karameikos, 3.2 miles per hex map, Giampaolo posted a second version, marking “the areas of control of humans and non-humans”. He explained the colours on the map as follows:

• Color code:
  • Yellow: lands controlled by the various lesser nobles (including Stefan or Adriana Karameikos as Lord/Lady of Specularum).
  • Cyan: lands mainly inhabited by humans, but not part of fiefs.
  • Green: elven lands (there may be Callarii elves south of Kelvin, but I’ve left this as a “contended” area).
  • Brown: gnomish Kingdom of Highforge.
  • Red: various goblinoid tribes.
• Superimposed colors: 
  • Red and Yellow: the Black Eagle uses Goblinoid mercenaries to retain control of the human population of these areas.
  • Red and Cyan: the troops of Radlebb Keep contend control of the Westron Road to the Bugbear tribes.
• Non-colored: areas controlled by other non-humans (e.g., Centaurs and Chevalls in the Moor and surrounding hills, Count Koriszegy in the area around Koriszegy Keep, dragons, the Beast of Radlebb), or contended/unpopulated lands. In many cases, these are buffer zones between enemy groups (e.g., Ogres and Callarii Elves north-west of Radlebb), in others, just lands that are not yet settled.

Geographic maps have always vastly outnumbered political maps of Mystara. They are often requested, but as a community we’ve not produced all that many. Of these, the Italian Mystara community has produced the vast majority, of which this is a good example.

Fan-made Map by Giampaolo Agosta (October 2009)

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.
