Solmyr’s Minrothad
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 November 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.
Aleksei’s non-hex version of Minrothad was much closer to its hex version than the Karameikos pair of maps. He deleted the hex grid, instead adding a scale, then expanding the terrain to fill the resulting gaps left by the hex grid. Other than these things along with the title and compass rose, there is little difference between the two maps.
Fan-made Map by Aleksei Andrievski (November 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.
