The Multiverse (1986)
This is a colourised version of the Immortals Set’s Multiverse diagram, updated with other information up to the end of 1986 — which mainly means the Dragon Rulers’ home plane(s) and the infinity marks on certain planes. It was the first such diagram to be produced for Mystara; although I have featured a hex visualisation of the Multiverse since Mystara 1984, there was no such visualisation back then until the Immortals Set.
As is clear from my visualisation, the Immortals Set heralded a change in the relationships of the Inner Planes, with the Elemental Planes of Earth and Fire being switched. Although this goes against the dominance and opposition rules laid out in the Companion Set, Frank Mentzer has confirmed that this version reflects his original intent, and is the correct configuration.
Chronological Map (February 2022)
This map is part of the Mystara 1986 series of chronological maps. It is an updated map, incorporating all available sources and made internally consistent with other maps in its series. But it only uses sources published in or before 1986.
For more information, see Appendix C: Cartographic Chronology.
