Cthulhudrew’s Ghyr, 8 miles per hex
Andrew’s 2000 work-in-progress map was the first to adapt XL-1 Quest for the Heartstone’s Kingdom of Ghyr, explicitly placing it in Mystara. His chosen location was “just to the north of the Denagoth plateau” detailed in X11. The original map was more of a sketch than a map, and lacked any sort of scale, so this is indeed an adaptation rather than a straight drop of the kingdom into Mystara.
Although there have been a number of other proposed placements for Ghyr, Andrew’s has proved popular in the community, with both JTR’s Gaz F and Ramelin Mystara adopting it. But there may well be more to see of this nation in the near future…
Fan-made Map by Andrew Theisen (May 2000)
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.
Work in progress map: This map is incomplete. It appears here in the most recent state available, but it may be missing certain elements.
