LoZompatore’s Platea Area
In October 2010, Michele posted to The Piazza about a new project: developing a Known World-equivalent area in an otherwise undeveloped area of the world. He chose central Davania, and named it Platea — “flatlands”, but also with a thematic link to “The Piazza”.
This map was all about situating the new area in its context, introducing it to the community. It therefore did not contain much in the way of new details, as the point was to develop it together.
Fan-made Map by Michele Carpita (October 2010)

This is an original map created by one of Mystara’s excellent fan cartographers. For more information on the cartographer, including a gallery of all their maps, see also Appendix M: Mappers of Mystara.
