Håvard’s Skothar Regions

During a conversation about developing the continent of Skothar in February 2014, Håvard came up with a list of regions based on available sources — primarily the Master Set, the Hollow World Set, and DA1. After some discussion, he created this map to illustrate his design. The first version contained a slight error, which he quickly fixed. Below is the corrected version.

The map uses the Master Set world map’s version of Skothar, rather than the Hollow World Set version that most fans base have based their works on.

You can read Håvard’s extensive notes at the Vaults of Pandius, or in the original thread at The Piazza.
