Tim’s Darokin, 8 miles per hex
For an introduction to Tim’s hex maps, see the post for his Known World, 24 miles per hex map.
With Tim’s Darokin, it should become immediately clear to anyone familiar with Paul Holroyd’s maps that these are indeed Paul’s hex symbols. Paul’s Darokin, 8 miles per hex map has been used and reused by many fans over the years, so that it is a familiar sight to many of us.
As I don’t know the circumstances around Tim using Paul’s art, I’m not sure if this is an alteration of Paul’s map, or a completely new version built from scratch using his symbols. Either way, the result is a strikingly similar map.
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.
