Legend (1984)
Every three years, Mystara seems to have seen a sudden infusion of new symbols and hex art. After the initial symbols appeared in 1981, they went largely unchanged, even through the reworking of the Basic and Expert Sets in 1983. But with the Companion Set in 1984, there was a sudden infusion of new symbols. Some of these were rather esoteric, and many saw little or no use in future maps. But the symbol set was enriched nevertheless.
After this, the next great revision and addition would not come for another three years and the appearance of the Gazetteers in 1987.
