Cthulhudrew’s Eastern Shadow Coast, 8 miles per hex
Andrew’s contribution to the Tome of Mystara in 2000 was a Princess Ark-inspired development of the southeastern Isle of Dawn, which he named “Twilight of the Dawn”. The first chapter, in Tome volume 3, dealt with the Straits of Barbarossa and the region just south of Caerdwicca, adding some detail to the region beyond what the original 24 mile per hex map in Dawn of the Emperors provided.
There were two versions of this map, with the original (the bottom map below) appearing in the Tome, follower by a revised version (the top map below) on Andrew’s own Twilight of the Dawn web site later in the year. While the first version mostly concentrated on the straits themselves, the revised version added labels and settlements to the adjacent land on the Isle of Dawn.
The revised map joins up with Andrew’s Caerdwicca map, and indeed both are marked with the same exact date. These two maps are also significant in that they are the first examples of Andrew’s revised hex mapping system, with more regular shaped hexes and the plains colour toned down to a less poppy green.
