Zendrolion’s Mystara 50,000 to 8,500 BC Ethnographic

Simone shared this map with me at the same time as he sent me his series of five prehistoric migration maps. It’s essentially an update to the first of that series, translated into English.

Overall it’s a very similar map, exploring the ancient origins and movements of many of Mystara’s first populations. He used the same base map, Michele Carpita’s Precataclysmic Mystara, but in slightly enhanced resolution. It also follows the exact same timeframe as the previous map.

Sadly, Simone’s new ethnography project was soon derailed by our discussions of Mystara’s map projection, and specifically the realisation that the Far End Ocean was vastly bigger than we had previously believed — rendering this map somewhat obsolete. As a result, he never posted it, and this may be the first time for it to be shared in public.
