Jacob’s Romaland, 8 miles per hex
The town of Shipton was already marked on GAZ7’s map, and Jacob provided some extra details for the town itself (a temple of Hel), but nothing mappable at this scale.
This article appeared some months after the first part of Jacob’s project, in late 2000. It was the last one he published that year.
Fan-made Map by Jacob Skytte (September 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.
