Tim’s Known World, 8 miles per hex
Tim himself never produced a combined version of all of his Known World hex maps, as far as I know. When Thibault sent me his cache of maps back in December 2020, I was thrilled to discover the full set of Tim’s maps. I missed them when he first posted them back at the turn of the millennium. Naturally, on seeing a full set of Known World hex maps, I immediately wanted to put them all together.
This is the result: a Tim Roberts Trail Map of the Known World. I performed only minor edits — just enough to make everything fit together, really. The resolution of Heldann was slightly different from the rest of the maps, so I had to do some scaling. Otherwise, everything appears as Tim designed it on the individual maps.
It’s wonderful to add this to the growing body of Mystaran cartography here at the Atlas of Mystara. If you’re out there somewhere, thank you, Tim!
Combining Fan-made Maps by Tim Roberts (January 2021)
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.
