Ramelin’s Kwythellar, Markresh and Kilmur, 8 miles per hex
At the same time as he finalised his Eseri, Alol and Ka map, Jose also created this map of Eseri’s neighbours to the west. This region is mainly the work of Francesco Defferrari, with the larger region known as the Silver Coast; this is the central part of the coast. Though part of Kwythellar appeared on Francesco’s original 2003 map, this was the first time the full nation and its neighbours had been mapped at 8 miles per hex.
The settlements are all from Francesco’s map, although Jose added new names for three previously unlabelled villages. Aside from the Eseri map, there is only one other source for Kwythellar, which is Francesco’s 2011 map of Izonda-Pelatan. Unfortunately, the labels on these two maps don’t always agree, and there is some inconsistency between them. Jose’s labels add another level to this, sometimes revising the original labels. Without a full gazetteer for the region, there is no authoritative source on the region to check.
Nonetheless, Kwythellar and the Silver Coast have become a popular and long-running part of fan expansions to Mystara, and more detailed maps of the area are most welcome. The best source of descriptions for these nations is Francesco’s article in Threshold Magazine #5.
