Two Ravenloft subsettings from Mystara: Swamp of the Hideous One and the Surrounding Lands (Gulluvia)

by Travis Henry

I made a logo for a mini-setting based on the orange cover B3: Palace of the Silver Princess. It's call THE SURROUNDING LANDS.

If anyone has a method that they've successfully used to post images to the Piazza, please let me know

The campaign setting title is from B3 p.2

"The information given below describes the surrounding lands near
the Palace of the Silver Princess in the land of the Princes of Glantri.
A brief outline of each village is given, including its size and
what the life is like there. There is one Barony, and this seat of
rulership controls most of the area. Further information about the
surrounding land may be added by the DM where and when desired."

The featured places of THE SURROUNDING LANDS are all gleaned from a close reading of B3:

The Ruined Kingdom of the Valley People (now dead)
The Barony of Gulluvia
The Shire of Dead Mule
The Canton of Velders
The Lordship of Westford
The Eastern Marches
The Other Lands of Vengeful Knights
The Dwarven Kingdom of Anteria
The Bandit Chiefdom of One-Eyed Jitra the Merciless
The Lost City, Hidden Fortress, and Forgotten Tribe of the Unnamed Army of Wolf Soldiers
Land of the Queen Dragon, the Ancient Red Dragon Worshippers, and the Silver Warrior.

I used Souvenir Black SSI font.

Now that there's a logo, it calls for a write-up and hex map! (On my list of things to do.)


I also made a logo for the SWAMP OF THE HIDEOUS ONE, as a Domain of Dread which has been pulled from western Karameikos. The map never matched Karameikos anyway (and the module says so!).

I used the scroll of "The Veteran's Tale" and Quintessential font, which is not quite right; but I couldn't find a freeware version of Quill Regular by Monotype. Should be https://www.fonts.com/font/monotype/quill/regular

And Baskerville for the subtitle.
