JTR’s Landfall, 8 miles per hex

After detailing Heldann in Gaz F7, JTR next moved north into the realm of Norwold, beginning with Heldann’s direct neighbour, Landfall. Although various fan-made products had dealt with Norwold as a whole, by this point few had touched on this area in detail. As always, JTR referenced his sources extensively in the notes on the map. Unfortunately, he likely did not have access to Thibault Sarlat’s version of the area (2004-2005), and so they are sadly incompatible.

On the other hand, JTR based his terrain here on the Italian MMB’s Norwold map, by Simone Neri, so there is compatibility there. Ultimately, the issue of compatibility is one that would become more and more of an issue as fan products moved further from the original sources. These days, most fans are used to the idea of multiple continuities, to the point that everyone seems to have their own version of Mystara.

In terms of new details, JTR took the few official references (from CM1, Companion, and a scant few others) and added his own inventions on the theme to fill out the rest of the terrain. The result is a rich, fully detailed landscape befitting of the Gaz F series and indeed its inspirational predecessor, the Gazetteer series.
