Ramelin’s Alfheim & Darokin, 8 miles per hex
November 2015 was a momentous month for Jose’s project, as he finalised more than thirty individual maps over a couple of days. The first set covered most of the Known World, while the second finished that off and then moved west to cover the Serpent Peninsula and the Savage Coast.
This map of Alfheim and Darokin is from the first batch, and while it’s clearly based on Atlas of Mystara Darokin, with the provinces all marked, Jose also added some of his own innovations. The most prominent of these is surely the darker mountain hexes denoting the major ridges of each range. But there is also an expanded trail network, joining up the settlements more efficiently, not to mention more named settlements. These display the first hints of another feature that would come to define Jose’s maps: his incredible talent for creating new place names that fit seamlessly with existing names.

(Please note that it may be some time before the project reaches this point.)
The following lists are from the Let’s Map Mystara project. Additions are new features, introduced in this map; Revisions are changes to previously-introduced features; Hex Art & Fonts track design elements; and finally Textual Additions are potential features found in the related text. In most cases, the Atlas adopts these textual additions into updated and chronological maps.
