LoZompatore’s Mystara 900 BC to 1009 AC

The last of Michele’s triptych looking at changes to the world’s geography over time, this one shows the modern world. It is pretty much just a reproduction of the Master Set world map. Note that the title lists 1009 BC, but this clearly was intended to be AC, meaning that the map is largely valid for any time up until the sinking of Alphatia.

The main change from the previous map is the Tangor Peninsula, which previously had been a shattered archipelago. He explained that 900 BC was the date he estimated for the transition from archipelago to peninsula. This change is not documented in official sources, though the shattered peninsula appears without explanation in the Hollow World Set‘s Precataclysmic Map.

The previous maps dealt with the world from just after the Great Rain of Fire in 3000 BC to the catastrophes of 1750 BC, then from there until the uplifting of the Tangor Peninsula in 900 BC.
