LoZompatore’s Major Known Trade Routes

Following the release of his Mystara Reference Map, Michele quickly shared a variation of the same map concentrating on the world’s trade routes. He posted two versions, of which this is the first, in which he combined trade routes from all official maps into a single set of routes.

As the idea with this version was to simply represent the official data, Michele resisted adding to the officially presented routes, leaving that for the second version. In effect, this was like a combined replica map of all the routes, while the second version was an updated map.
