Thibault’s Bellissaria, 72 miles per hex

With his final Heldann map complete, Thibault turned his attention to Bellissaria. This may have been for one of the Mystaran Almanacs. Before starting on a converted 24 mile per hex map, he first went for a 72 mile per hex version. He started this by taking a crop from Mystara, 72 miles per hex 2000, then converting that into Hexmapper format. This is the resulting map (with the crop included second below for the sake of completeness). It seems to have been more of a stepping stone rather than a finished map of its own; Thibault didn’t recreate most of his maps of this scale in Hexmapper, so this one is somewhat of an exception.
