Jacob’s Haltimark, 8 miles per hex

The map for Haltimark is as you would expect, placing Ankarson, the Great Hall listed in GAZ7, on the coast. But in his article, Jacob adds something else entirely: a small lake called Månespejl (Moon Mirror). Although this isn’t marked on the map, it certainly could be.

Fan-made Map by Jacob Skytte (March 2000)

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.

The Atlas has been unable to contact the original cartographer. This map therefore appears here without explicit permission from its creator. Any information on how to get in touch with them would be most welcome.
