Sturm’s Adri Varma Plateau, 8 miles per hex
Although Francesco left the Adri Varma Plateau area largely undeveloped in his revised Glantri map, in fact he had also been working on a fleshed out version. As his primary source, he used Michele Carpita’s 24 mile per hex map from back in February of the same year, which adapted the original orange cover B3 Palace of the Silver Princess to the Adri Varma’s later established badlands and desert terrain.
But Francesco didn’t just redo Michele’s map. Instead, he created a fully-developed and detailed 8 mile per hex map of the plateau, incorporating everything from B3 and Michele’s map, as well as his own ideas for the region, and even Steven B. Wilson’s Ungolwaith.
Later maps of the area used this map as a base, including most notably those of Gary Davies.

Chronological Analysis
This is a fan-made map. It was published in October 2006. 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 2006. (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.
