Agathokles’ Sea of Dread Area
Longtime community member Giampaolo “Agathokles” Agosta has contributed a great deal of material over the past 25+ years. Among his many works there have been a number of maps of a variety of places in and around Mystara.
This is the earliest map that Giampaolo shared. It comes from his web site, where he included it on a page listing the “Lands crossed by the Princess Ark”. It’s a clear adaptation of similar maps that appeared in the original Princess Ark series in Dragon Magazine. However, with his customary attention to detail, Giampaolo meticulously added in the small islands of the Sea of Dread and Serpent Peninsula areas.
The size and resolution of the map show that it’s a product of its era, around the turn of the millennium.
