Jacob’s Hammersholm, 8 miles per hex
Continuing his series of articles clockwise around the coast of Noslo Island, Jacob’s map of Hammersholm added a name for the major bay on the island’s northern coast, as well as one for Hammersholm’s great hall.
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.
