I've been thinking recently about Thonia, and its place in modern Mystara. Firstly, I wanted to get a feel for it in the context of mapping it in the 8 miles per hex format, linked to the more general adjustments to rotation and scaling I have been working on. This is intended to bring everything into line/scale with the map from the inside cover of the Master's set. Recently, Thorf kindly produced a version on this Master's set map which had an overlay hex grid of 24 miles per hex. Also, importantly, this was rotated to align with the map of Brun from the companion set, and therefore the Gazetteer and Trail Maps. To create the basic coastlines, and general topography, I referenced this map, and overlaid with his earlier map of Skothar at 72 miles per hex. As can be seen on the below outline, there is a slight "tear" to adjust a discontinuity between the two. (Link) Secondly, I am viewing this as a "points of light" style campaign setting. Thonia i
