HWA3 Shahjapur, 8 miles per hex
The conclusion of the Blood Brethren trilogy of Hollow World adventures brought with it the trilogy’s only major new hex map: Northwestern Shahjapur, located in the Anathy Archipelago, west of the main continent of Iciria.
The map itself has a strange rotation that effectively puts west at the top of the page, with the usual hex columns running east to west. This is 90º different from most Mystara maps.
But even stranger still is the massive proliferation of cities around the Bay of Djamballa, suggesting overcrowding on a scale never seen anywhere else in Mystara’s maps. And yet the adjacent lands seem all but empty.
It’s without a doubt one of Mystara’s strangest maps.
