Chimpman’s Southeastern Shimmering Lands, 8 miles per hex
This was John’s first 8 mile per hex map of Mystara 2300 BC. It depicted a portion of the Shimmering Lands. He explained in his post at The Piazza at the time:
Ok, time for something fun. Here is a preview of things to come… Southeastern Shimmering Lands in 8mi/hex. Here you can see the 3 most south easterly Gatherholds and surrounding estates. There are three more to the west (not pictured) centered roughly over Rockhome, Vestland, and what will become the Land of Black Sand, and one more on the Bridge of Oost, east of the Gate of Light.
The terrain was mostly already in place, and highly detailed, as were many settlements, though with half or more as yet unnamed.
He would return with a full map of the area just a couple of weeks later.
