Zendrolion’s Mystara 8,500 to 5,500 BC

This was the second map in a series of five that Simone created in 2008. For a little more on this series, see the post for the first map, Mystara 50,000 to 8,500 BC. As with the other maps, the labels were all in Italian. This map’s title was “L’alba dei popoli”, which (according to Google) translates to something like “The dawn of the peoples” or “The dawn of nations”.

As with the first map, it again mixes old Mystara names with old Blackmoor names, knitting them together into the prehistory. 5,500 BC is still before the rise of Blackmoor itself — which would be the subject of the next map.
