Thibault’s Bellissaria 1010 AC, 24 miles per hex v1

Following the pattern of Heldann’s remake in Hexmapper, Thibault started out by upgrading his existing Grid map of the region. In this case, he took his Bellissaria, 24 miles per hex v2 map and changed it from 1000 AC to 1010 AC, sinking Alphatia in the process. Then he added borders and labels, in the same style he had used for Heldann.

The resulting map is by far his most complete map of the region up until this point. But he didn’t stop here, as this map was in fact just a stepping stone to the final Hexmapper version.

Fan-made Map by Thibault Sarlat (November 2004)

Additions

• Settlements — Stalwart and Vaisalian, both in skeletal white lettering and rather hard to make out, are new here. Both were added in the Mystaran Almanacs, with Stalwart originating in the 1016 AC volume, and Vaisalian in 1019 AC.

Revisions

• Spellings — Arogansa Islands and Eadrin Islands are both pluralised, whereas they were both singular in the Poor Wizard’s Almanac.
