Tim’s Broken Lands, 8 miles per hex
For an introduction to Tim’s hex maps, see the post for his Known World, 24 miles per hex map.
One of the highlights of Tim’s maps is seeing Paul Holroyd’s hex symbols put to use. On the other hand, I’m not actually sure whether all of these symbols were indeed his creation, as Paul only ever released three maps. It seems entirely possible that Tim made the extra symbols needed for these maps himself. We may never know for sure.
Tim was the third fan cartographer to tackle The Broken Lands. Although it’s the smallest of the Known World nations, it’s perhaps the least mapped. This may be due to the fact that its real area of interest lies in the underground realm, leaving the surface rather bleak and empty. Rather ironically given this lack of detail, Tim got the only two labels on the map mixed up.
Fan-made Map by Tim Roberts (c. July 2001)
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.
The Atlas has been unable to contact the original cartographer. This map therefore appears here without explicit permission from its creator. Any information on how to get in touch with them would be most welcome.

Chronological Analysis
This is a fan-made map. It was likely published in July 2001. The updated Atlas version of this map is not yet available. See also Appendix C for annual chronological snapshots of the area. For the full context of this map in Mystara’s publication history, see the upcoming Let’s Map Mystara 2001. (Please note that it may be some time before the project reaches this point.)
The following lists are from the Let’s Map Mystara project. Additions are new features, introduced in this map. Revisions are changes to previously-introduced features. Hex Art & Fonts track design elements. Finally, Textual Additions are potential features found in the related text. In most cases, the Atlas adopts these textual additions into updated and chronological maps.
Under Construction! Please check back again soon for updates.

- Settlements — The labels for Akrass and Udhgar are switched. This was likely an oversight.
