Agathokles’ Savage Baronies

This map is from the same page of Giampaolo’s web site as his Sea of Dread Area map, describing the areas visited by the Princess Ark. It appears at the bottom of the page in a section about the Savage Baronies. It appears to date from a little later, with the file stamp reading June 2001. This map is also slightly higher resolution, and contains quite a bit more detail.

It’s effectively a replica of Dragon Issue 175’s area map, though with some interesting changes in the labelling. Specifically, Giampaolo changed a few of the labels from English to Italian, and others to Portuguese. He also added more labels from other sources to supplement the original map’s labels.

Fan-made Map by Giampaolo Agosta (June 2001)

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.
