Ramelin’s Wallara, 8 miles per hex
Following in the footsteps of Thibault, Adamantyr, and others before him, Jose recreated his Wallara from Bruce Heard’s original map in Dragon 186. He finalised it in February 2016, alongside three other maps of the area. His first full Southold map dates to two months prior to this, so there were likely snapshots created from that map.
The Princess Ark maps were already very well developed and full of features, so Ramelin Mystara’s version saw little or no changes.
Fan-made Map by Jose Ignacio Ramos Lomelin (February 2016)
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.

Chronological Analysis
This is a fan-made map. It was published in February 2016. The updated Atlas version of this map is not yet available. See also Appendix C for annual chronological snapshots of the area. For the full context of this map in Mystara’s publication history, see the upcoming Let’s Map Mystara 2016.
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. 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.
Revisions
- Coastline — As usual for his maps, Jose roughened the coastlines slightly.
- Sea Depths — Red Steel included two stages of deeper water around the coasts. Jose’s depths are similar to these overall, but they don’t match, especially in small details.
- Spelling — Jose made the following changes to spelling from the original maps. In all likelihood most of these were errors rather than deliberate choices; the Dragon maps were always a little hard to read, especially from the low resolution scans available online.
- Battle of Wee Waa became Battle of Waa Waa.
- Hills of Parau-Ixá became Hills of Parau-Ixa.
- Ixui-Biá became Ixuti-Blá.
- Tower of Enbuth became Enbarth.
Hex Art & Fonts
