Jacob’s Thorholm, 8 miles per hex

Thorholm was listed as a vassal domain on GAZ7’s list of clans and dominions. Jacob chose to deal with this by making it a conquered domain, living under the nominal rule of its neighbour. Clan Thorholm still exists, but under the dominion of Clan Vithesford.

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.
