Mystara has gone through two main stages of mapping: the official years of its publication, from 1981 until 1996; and the era of fan cartographers, from 1996 until the present day. In the course of these decades, many different people have tried their hand at mapping Mystara — from the world and its continents to the individual nations and their dominions, towns, villages — and dungeons.
This Appendix celebrates the creative cartographers behind all of these maps, taking a look at their contributions to Mystara. It aims to provide a timeline of their work, highlighting major achievements and turning points. Where possible, it includes their own words.
As with most of the Atlas of Mystara, these articles will grow and multiply over time.
