Sylvan Realm, 2 miles per hex (1986)
The Sylvan Realm was the only major new area introduced in 1986; most of the other additions concentrated on detailing parts of existing nations.
The primary name for the area in CM7 was actually “The Elven Land”, though it was also referred to as “The Sylvan Realm” a few times. Although both names are quite generic, it is this latter name that stuck, and since it was already present here in 1986 I have gone with it.
Updates to the map primarily involved changing the extensive keyed locations into descriptive labels. Otherwise, there was little to add from the text. CM7 also provides historical notes on the region, which may be useful to develop a map of the Sylvan Realm before Moorkroft — although to be honest his depredations seem to be limited mainly to the Dead Oaks marked on the map.
Chronological Map (February 2022)
This map is part of the Mystara 1986 series of chronological maps. It is an updated map, incorporating all available sources and made internally consistent with other maps in its series. But it only uses sources published in or before 1986.
