The background needs to be changed and the Githyanki part needs to be edited away, but other than that the name does suggest a Mystaran link, doesn't it?

Perhaps there is a connection to this place?

Catharandamus is the high priest of Arik from B3. Apparently, in the Tome of Magic, he has become some sort of undead nasty. His Vault, from the map above is probably located near Haven in Karameikos. Perhaps he now wields Arik's Vengance?

Ah, it's just taunting!

All these open references to Mystara and old D&D modules here and there in WotC manuals, and no real plan of resurrecting the setting!

Very nice looking map! Do you know whether it's been keyed or not?

I dont have the Tome of Magic, but from a previous discussion, I remember someone saying the map is from an adventure seed involving Catharandamus. I don't know how detailed the section is, but I'm guessing not too detailed.

Marco: yeah, it can be seen as an insult, but I see it as homage. Whatever the intentions of the writers, they are giving us some things we can use if we want to. The chance of seeing a new Mystara line by WotC is close to zero, but getting a few things here and there seems to be happening more and more.
