Geoff’s Annurios, 8 miles per hex

After a few years of reduced mapping output, Geoff returned to maps with a vengeance in March 2009. But this time, it was in a collaboration with me. After I posted replicas of Geoff’s Selhomarr, 40 miles per hex as well as a combined replica of his Davania, 72 miles per hex, he started talking about an 8 mile per hex version or Selhomarr… and things naturally progressed from there.

We established a pattern where Geoff worked up a map, which I then replicated in the Atlas standard. Next Geoff would come up with more additions, and after another pass or two the map would be complete. It was the first time for me to work together on maps in this way, and the whole project was an absolute joy to do.

Annurios was the first of these maps. Below you will find both my completed replica map and Geoff’s original design. My map isn’t exactly a replica, because it combines all of Geoff’s textual directions with his original map draft.

Fan-made Map by Geoff Gander (March 2009)

Work in progress map: This map is incomplete. It appears here in the most recent state available, but it may be missing certain elements.

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 March 2009. 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 2009. (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.
