Agathokles’ Tangor, 24 miles per hex

Giampaolo created this map of the Gulf of Tangor and Tangor Bay areas for an adventure he wrote for Threshold #20.

Somewhat unusually for him, it’s a straight 24 mile per hex scaled map. (The scale wasn’t noted in the article.) He based his terrain on Atlas of Mystara Skothar, which I had just posted a couple of months previously, and brought in all the other community contributions he could find that fit his vision for the region. Francesco Defferrari also shared his own political maps of Skothar around this time, and these also influenced Giampaolo’s map.

As always with his maps, you can read more details about the features of the map in the article, in this case in Threshold #20.
