Ramelin’s Heldann, 8 miles per hex v1

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.

While most of Jose’s Known World maps drew primarily on official sources, there are almost no such maps for Heldann at this scale. Consequently, he based his map on existing fan sources, such as Geoff’s, Thibault’s, and JTR’s Heldann — and probably a few others, too. This was his first pass at the Heldannic Territories, and he presented it in a pretty orthodox fashion, distilling the fan sources into his own preferred view of the nation. Successive versions would take things in an entirely different direction.

Fan-made Map by Jose Ignacio Ramos Lomelin (November 2015)

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.
