Geoff’s Ilyoris, 8 miles per hex

After a break of some months, Geoff returned to the Selhomarr 8 mile per hex project in mid 2010. At that time, I was too busy to remake his maps right away, so my version didn’t appear until mid 2011.

Geoff actually updated his draft a few days after posting, which is quite a rare occurrence for his maps. As with his other maps from mid 2010, he used Hexmapper rather than cutting and pasting hexes in MS Paint, and it has remained his go-to software for all of his subsequent hex maps to date.

Ilyoris was the first subject for this next wave of provinces. The map itself features an interesting bay closed in by sandbars. The shape of the Morinna Peninsula is also rather interesting and unique.

Fan-made Map by Geoff Gander (July 2010)

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.
