Darkblood’s Known World, 8 miles per hex, Grid S1E1

Ricardo included six initial sections in his Mystara’s Map Navigator when he first published it online in October 2000, arranged in three columns and two rows. This is the fifth section, the middle part of the second row. Ricardo revised the map two years later, fixing a small overlap error in the road running southeast from Bridle.

This is one of the most interesting parts of the whole map, as it presented Aengmor for the first time at 8 miles per hex; previously, only the southeastern borders had appeared at that scale, on Karameikos: Kingdom of Adventure’s map (1994), while the whole nation had debuted at 24 miles per hex in Wrath of the Immortals (1992).

Fan-made Map by Ricardo Matheus (October 2002)

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.
