Thibault’s Mystara, 24 miles per hex

Less than a week after sharing his final map of Davania, Thibault posted his most complete world map yet. Naturally, it included his Davania map, along with his Brun map from the previous year. But it also brought together many of his Skothar maps for the first time; unlike the other two continents, Thibault doesn’t seem to have created a separate 24 mile per hex Skothar map. The whole Nentsun area made its 24 mile per hex debut in this map, along with most of the islands to the west of the peninsula. Strangely missing was the Tangor region, despite his having mapped it some time earlier.

Despite Skothar being incomplete, this map largely fulfilled a longtime dream of many Mystara fans: a 24 mile per hex world map. It was the culmination of five years of work detailing thousands of square (okay, hexed) miles of terrain across the world, and as such, it’s the pinnacle of Thibault’s achievements in mapping Mystara.

In short, it’s an absolute masterpiece, and it has had a lasting impact on Mystaran cartography ever since.
