LoZompatore’s Thyatian Mountain Locations

Michele used an excerpt from Christian’s Northeastern Davania, 24 miles per hex to create this map showing a possible location for the three mythical (or historical) mountains of the Thyatians. The idea here stems from a note in Dawn of the Emperors, referring to the Thyatians having “taken their names from far southern mountains where they used to dwell” (DM’s Sourcebook page 4).

This was part of a larger article propounding a new theory on the origins of the Thyatians.
