Wilderlands and Blackmoor in Postcataclysmic Mystara

[Havard]

The main issue with this model is that you would have to change the scale of either the Wilderlands maps or the Mystara planetary map, but I doubt it would have such big consequences.

Yeah, the canonical Wilderlands is kind of a tiny area, though I understand that the map scale was originally a mistake. I haven't looked to see what scale it'd have to be changed to yet, though. I just think the geography matches up fairly well this way (and the Great Rain of Fire can explain a lot of discrepancies; I'm sort of excited to see what it'll look like if I warp things more).

Yeah, I am pretty relaxed about the scales of the Wilderlands maps myself.

Although my own work is now quite heavily founded on the Hollow World maps, this is definitely an interesting experiment!

Where did the different "Shires" come from?

They come from The World of the Wilderlands of High Adventure and the accompanying map. On that map they're in the northeastern portion of the continent, approximately where I placed Blackmoor. Obviously that won't do, and I think they're more interesting in Davania anyway, dealing with the Serpentine/Demon Empire instead of the Karakhan.

Ah, thanks!
I do like the placement of these Halfling lands. IMC I have also tied the proto-Halflings to the Ulimwengu Pygmies (from Champions of Mystara). Their history, leading up to the time of the High Heroes and the discovery of the Blackflame (possibly via the Dimension of Nightmares) is worth exploring in more detail!
