Christian’s Davania, 7000 BC
Christian’s last contribution to Mystara to date followed on the heels of his Northeastern Davania map: the Illustrated Timeline of “Arykkia,” Sub-Continent of Davania. He created a series of six maps to go with the histories.
This first map builds on Geoff’s Lhomarr map, though it concentrates on Davania, and adds in neighbouring lands. By this time, mappers such as JTR, Michele Carpita, and John Calvin had all created pre-cataclysmic maps of this area, and Christian likely referenced some or all of these. But he also added new details, such as the extents of each realm.
The map illustrates the section for 9,000 BC – 6,000 BC, although the filename labelled it 7,000 BC.
Fan-made Map by Christian Constantin (March 2014)
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.

Chronological Analysis
This is a fan-made map. It was published in 2014. The updated Atlas version of this map is not yet available. See also Appendix C for annual chronological snapshots of the area. For the full context of this map in Mystara’s publication history, see the upcoming Let’s Map Mystara 2014. (Please note that it may be some time before the project reaches this point.)
The following lists are from the Let’s Map Mystara project. Additions are new features, introduced in this map; Revisions are changes to previously-introduced features; Hex Art & Fonts track design elements; and finally Textual Additions are potential features found in the related text. In most cases, the Atlas adopts these textual additions into updated and chronological maps.
