LoZompatore’s Mystara 14,500 BC

Michele wrote an article for Threshold #12 knitting together various ideas from official and fan-created works. He included two maps, of which this was the first. It dealt with the ancient prehistory of the elves, in the long, long distant past. As such, he referenced Francesco’s 99.9999985% of Mystara History article.

The map was (of course) a precataclysmic (pre-Great Rain of Fire) version of the world. It included not just the ancient elves (the Eldar), but also other races of that era.

See Michele’s article for more.
