Hoddie’s Alfheim, 8 miles per hex
Paul’s third and final map was Alfheim, once again reproducing the official map — this time from GAZ5.
With his nicely subdued palette and carefully recreated hex art, it’s a shame that Paul stopped at this point. But he did share his hex art, which seems to have led to Tim Roberts creating a full set of Known World maps in his style a couple of years later. I haven’t been able to discover the details of this connection, though. If anyone has any information about Tim Roberts’ later maps in Paul’s style, please let me know.
In the meantime, thank you Paul for these great maps as well as another wonderful mapping style!

Chronological Analysis
This is a fan-made map. It was published in September 1999. See Alfheim, 8 miles per hex for the updated Atlas version of this map. 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 1999. (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.
