Geoff’s Arkan, 24 miles per hex

The next of Geoff’s Mystaran Almanac maps covered a small corner of the nation of Alphatia — but in the Hollow World in 1018 AC rather than in it’s pre-Wrath of the Immortals form. Because this is Hollow World Ar, there are no floating islands, as they were left behind in the Outer World.

The variant versions of the map illustrate ongoing events in the Almanac. This is an early example of maps showing future history. How a region changes through time has long been a favourite topic of fan mappers, although official maps rarely touched on the topic outside of Wrath of the Immortals.

Chronological Analysis

These are fan-made maps. They were published in May and August 2001. The updated Atlas version of these maps are not yet available. See also Appendix C for annual chronological snapshots of the area. For the full context of these maps in Mystara’s publication history, see the upcoming Let’s Map Mystara 2001. (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.
