Caldwen, 10 miles per hex Full Map

Caldwen, Calidar, Great Caldera, hex maps, Patreon 0

It took me eight months to bring this map from preparatory stages to completion. (If you’re a Mystara fan, you’re probably saying, “What, just eight months?! You posted a map earlier today that took you ten years!!”) Suffice it to say, this is a big map.

It’s made up of five 18 x 12 inch panels covering Caldwen itself, plus significant sections of the neighbouring states, Osriel and Nordheim. The full map is just over 46 x 34 inches.

This is a land of mages and demons, dominated by an academic culture which always puts magic first. It’s the subject of Bruce Heard’s next book, CAL2 On Wings of Darkness.

In other news, you’ve probably already heard about the new Calidar book, Dreams of Aerie. In case you haven’t: the Kickstarter is now in progress, and it’s already almost funded. It’s an adventure set on the Flying Circus previously introduced in CC1 Beyond the Skies, and it’s full of mystery, secret societies, and of course Bruce’s usual quirky humour.
