Thibault’s Alphatian Sea 1010 AC, 24 miles per hex

This is the companion to Thibault’s Alphatian Sea, 24 miles per hex. While that map showed the Alphatian Sea area before the events of Wrath of the Immortals, this one shows the aftermath. Using the previous map as a base, Thibault adjusted Alphatia to show its sunken state, adapting from existing maps of the area — including the Poor Wizard’s Almanac series maps as well as his own previous 72 mile per hex map of the area.

This may well have been the first ever map of the area at this scale; though it had previously appeared at 72 miles per hex, no one had yet depicted it in more detail at 24.

This map appeared in the fan-made Mystaran Almanac AC 1019. As such, it is presumably intended to show the area during that year. However, in the absence of political borders, it can equally fit as far back as 1010 AC, just after the sinking of Alphatia. I have therefore tagged it with the earliest possible date: it is valid for 1010 AC and later.

Fan-made Map by Thibault Sarlat (October 2003)

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.
