Darkblood’s Legend
For his Mystara’s Map Navigator, Ricardo prepared two forms of map key: a general legend featuring his standard set of hex art, and smaller keys for each individual map, showing the extra symbols used in that grid section.
He based his symbols closely on official published maps, recreating the look and feel of the originals in precisely constructed pixel art.
Fan-made Map by Ricardo Matheus (October-December 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.

Chronological Analysis
This is a fan-made legend. It was published in 2000. The updated Atlas legend is here. See also Appendix C for annual chronological snapshots of Mystara’s hex art legend. For the full context of this legend in Mystara’s publication history, see the upcoming Let’s Map Mystara 2000. (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.
