Solmyr’s Bellissaria and Esterhold
For an introduction to Aleksei Andrievski’s maps, see the article for Solmyr’s Alphatian Region. This is another of his CC-DOS maps, made by Aleksei in October 1997, then shared on his web site (with an announcement on the MML) in March 1998. Once again, thanks to Remy Monsen for the conversion from CC-DOS to PNG format.
As with his Alphatian Region map, this map is rendered in a clean, uncluttered style, without blocks of colour. Unlike that map, there is a lot more detail here. It’s clearly based on the Poor Wizard’s Almanac III map, but reverted to 1000 AC, with Alphatia still present and intact.
Fan-made Map by Aleksei Andrievski (October 1997)
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.
The Atlas has been unable to contact the original cartographer. This map therefore appears here without explicit permission from its creator. Any information on how to get in touch with them would be most welcome.

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.
