Since I restarted this blog in 2021, I have added various locations to Mystara. Many of these are in the Grand Duchy of Karameikos. I have also taken the liberty of placing some official adventure modules there as well, sometimes in a different place to where other members of the Mystara community believe they should be. As I have said before, this is my own version of Mystara, and I do not feel obliged to stick to fanon or even canon. Nonetheless, a lot of Karameikos is as described in Gazetteer #1.
The official modules in Karameikos include
- B1: In Search of the Unknown - Quasqeton is approximately the same place as indicated in Mentzer Expert set
- B2: The Keep on the Borderlands- Castellan Keep and the Caves of Chaos are approximately same place as indicated in Mentzer Expert set, just outside Castellan Keep, I have expanded on Castellan Valley, the surrounding area.
- B3: Palace of the Silver Princess [this one could be set in Glantri but I'm keeping it in the official location in Karameikos] is in Haven, north of Rugalov.
- B5: Horror on the Hill - now north of Penhaligon along with Guido's Fort
- B6: The Veiled Society is still set in Specularum
- B7: Rahasia and Kota-Hutan - now west of Rifllian
- B9: Castle Caldwell is now near Guido's Fort , just off the Duke's Keep Road
- B9: Elwynn's Sanctuary is to the west of Riflian and Verge
I have also created a number of civilised settlements
- Vurparnu Mansion
- Tower of Aelarda Starria
- Grulven's Prospect
- The Reclusium of Serenity
- Arragescu Keep (Order of the Griffon)
And here are the dungeons I have added:
- The Hunting Lodge (intended level 1)
- Lair of the Twisted Summoner (intended levels 1-2)
- Kamroth's Cairn (intended levels 4-5)
- Tomb of the Frost Shamans (not detailed but probably levels 9-12)
- Tarrag Duun (not detailed but probably levels 2-10)
- Vlastag Silver Mine (intended levels 1-3)
- The Siege Weapon Depot (intended levels 2-4)
Honourable mentions of official locations
