Håvard’s Solar System v1

Since the founding of The Piazza forum for classic D&D worlds in 2008, there has been some overlap between the Mystara community and fans of other old settings. Håvard posted this map during a discussion of Mystaraspace in the Spelljammer forum in 2010.

It was his first pass at a map of Mystara’s solar system, and perhaps even the first map of its kind shared online. Håvard used the Immortals Set as a base, including the doomed planet, Damocles. He then changed the names of the real world-derived planets to match thematically equivalent Mystaran Immortals, so that for example Mercury became Alphaksis, and so on.

Finally, he also included planets and asteroids from some other sources, listed below.

He would revisit the map for another pass some years later.
