exist in the fantasy world that was& Dragons at the time. Their
compiled, blended, and combined to form a fantasy world, Mystara.
The D&D Gazetteer series details the game's Known World setting. Each Gazeempire, and has three basic elements: cultural and geographic background, featu
cultural and geographic campaign background section offers a brief history and t
basic geography, climate, and ecology; and, fundamental social and political conGazetteer also offers a list of scenario ideas appropriate to the campaign setting.
Mystara $lanet
Mystaras outer surface consists of three principal land masses: the continent
Skothar, and the continent of Davania, plus the island continent of Alphatia (
officially published material, the Known World concentrated on the eastern portiolands of the Sea of Dawn. The continents of Mystara resemble those of the earth a
years ago.
The inhabitants of Mystara are diverse: humans of all races can be foundcreatures such as elves, dwarves, halflings, orcs, and dragons.
Some of the notable nations of Mystara include the Thyatian Empire, the Gran
the Principalities of Glantri, the merchant-run Republic of Darokin, the Emirates onation of Rockhome, The elven Kingdom of Alfheim, Halfling lands of the Fiv
Alphatian Empire.
THE CONTINENT OF BRUN
The most commonly known land mass on Mystaras outer surface is actuall
continent of Brun itself. In the officially published material, the Known World co
portion of Brun along with the lands of the Sea of Dawn.

government types. Some nations are populated entirely by demihumans and/or humanoids. By common
convention, the boundaries of the Known World are those covered in the world map as originallypublished in the module X1, The Isle of Dread, plus Norwold, the Isle of Dawn, and (pre Wrath of the
Immortals) Alphatia.
As the name implies, the Known World covers the most notable nations of Mystara, the ones mostcommonly used in Mystara-based campaigns and featured in fiction (both officially published canon and
fan-based). It includes the Thyatian Empire, which could be compared to Byzantine Empire; the GrandDuchy of Karameikos (which includes the town of Threshold, the default setting of many classic D&Dadventures), comparable to medieval southeastern Europe; the Principalities of Glantri, which is similar to
medieval western Europe, ruled by wizard-princes; the Ethengar Khanate, a Mongol-like society; the
merchant-run Republic of Darokin, which is based somewhat loosely on the mercantile states of MedievalItaly; the Emirates of Ylaruam which have an Arabic flavor; the Heldannic Territories, ruled by an order of
religious Knights devoted to the Immortal Vanya, similar to the Teutonic Knights; the Atruaghin Clans,
which have an Amerindian feel; the nation of Sind, based on India during the rule of the Mughals; theNorthern Reaches Kingdoms of Ostland, Vestland, the Soderfjord Jarldoms, based on Scandinavian
kingdoms at various periods of history; the Dwarven nation of Rockhome; the elven Kingdom of Alfheim;
the Halfling lands of the Five Shires; and the Alphatian Empire, ruled by wizards and other spellcasters.
To the distant Northwest of the Known World, across the Great Waste, lays the mysterious lands of Hule,ruled by Hosadus, also known as The Master. Also on the periphery of the Known World are the
Kingdoms of Wendar and Denagoth, the first an elven-dominated nation and the latter a mountainous anddark realm of evil, with ill-intentions towards Wendar. The Adri Varma lies between Sind, Wendar, the
Great Waste, and The Black Mountains, forming the northern border of Glantri and defining the
northwestern limits of the region.
THE SAVAGE COAST
Mystara includes the Savage Coast, a coastal area located in the south central part of the Brun continent,
to the south and west of Hule. This part of Mystara is affected by the Red Curse, a sinister enchantmentwhich eventually kills its inhabitants through mutation unless the (fictional) metal cinnabryl is worn in
contact with the body. This area was published in its own boxed set entitled Red Steel, and later republishedon-line as the Savage Coast. Its swashbuckling flavor is very different from that of the Known World, closerin atmosphere to that of the Age of Exploration than the fantasy middle-ages/renaissance tone of the Known
World. The Savage Coast is complete with gunpowder (Smokepowder) weaponry.
The specifics of the Red Curse, which include mutilation of the body and extreme degeneration ofphysical and mental health, also tend to keep the inhabitants of the Savage Coast within the region, as
debilitating effects result if they leave the cursed area.
THE CONTINENT OF DAVANIA
Even though most of the Known World civilizations historically originated from this part of the planet, it
did not see much development while the Mystara product line was still in production. The only major
appearance of the continent was in Dragon magazine, where parts of it were sketched out during the Voyageof the Princess Arkseries, by Known World Product Manager Bruce Heard.
In recent years, many Mystara fans have been turning their attention to Davania with fan-made material.
THE CONTINENT OF SKOTHAR
Very little was officially developed for this part of Mystara. Ever since the Mystara product line was
discontinued, fans have created their own material for this part of Mystara.
THE HOLLOW WORLD
Mystara is a hollow planet, with a habitable surface on its interior called the Hollow World. This world is
lit by an eternal red sun at the center of Mystara, and serves as a cultural museum, preserving the societiesthat have become extinct in the outer world. The existence of the Hollow World is not, in general, known to
the inhabitants of the outer world. The poles are actually huge, subtly curving holes that allow passage
8/10/2019 d&d Next - Chronicles of Mystara v.0.3
7/17
between the outer and inner world, although it is a long, hard trek through a cold, unlit, stormy and anti-
magic area. The curvature of the holes is so subtle that explorers from either surface do not notice thetransition until after it is already made, causing quite a shock for most.
MOONS
Two moons orbit the planet. Matera is a moon much like our own, whose phases govern lycanthropy
(werewolves, werebears, etc.). Only the Immortals inhabit Matera. They live in a city, Pandius, where theycan meet and watch over Mystara. Patera, or Myoshima to its inhabitants, is an invisible moon that cannot
be seen from Mystara. Patera's inhabitants have a culture similar to that of medieval Japan.
BLACKMOOR
Mystara (like Greyhawk) also incorporated the Blackmoor setting by placing it in the world's distant past.
Blackmoor evolved from a feudal kingdom into a highly advanced civilization, using more and morepowerfuland destructivetechnology. It ended itself in an apocalyptic explosion so devastating that it
changed the climate and geography of the planet as a whole.

Appendix! Spells
New Spells
These spells arent included in the Basic Rules, but can be found in the Players Handbook.
CLOUDKILL
5th-level conjuration
Casting Time:1 action
Range:120 feet
Components:V, S
Duration:Concentration, up to 10 minutes
You create a 20-foot-radius sphere ofpoisonous, yellowgreen fog centered on a point
you choose within range. The fog spreads aroundcorners. It lasts for the duration or until strong
wind disperses the fog, ending the spell. Its area
is heavily obscured.
When a creature enters the spells area for the
first time on a turn or starts its turn there, that
creature must make a Constitution saving throw.The creature takes 5d8 poison damage on a failed
save, or half as much damage on a successful
one. Creatures are affected even if they hold theirbreath or dont need to breathe. The fog moves
10 feet away from you at the start o f each o f
your turns, rolling along the surface of theground. The vapors, being heavier than air, sink
to the lowest level o f the land, even pouring
down openings.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell
using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the
damage increases by 1d8 for each slot levelabove 5th.
CONJURE ELEMENTAL
5th-level conjuration
Casting Time:1 minute
Range:90 feet
Components: V, S, M (burning incense for air,soft clay for earth, sulfur and phosphorus for fire,
or water and sand for water)
Duration:Concentration, up to 1 hour
You call forth an elemental servant. Choose an
area o f air, earth, fire, or water that fills a 10-footcube within range. An elemental of challengerating 5 or lower appropriate to the area you
chose appears in an unoccupied space within 10
feet o f it. For example, a fire elemental emerges
from a bonfire, and an earth elemental rises upfrom the ground. The elemental disappears when
it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.
The elemental is friendly to you and yourcompanions for the duration. Roll initiative for
the elemental, which has its own turns. It obeys
any verbal commands that you issue to it (noaction required by you). If you dont issue any
commands to the elemental, it defends itself from
hostile creatures but otherwise takes no actions.
If your concentration is broken, the elemental
doesnt disappear. Instead, you lose control of the
elemental, it becomes hostile toward you andyour companions, and it might attack. An
uncontrolled elemental cant be dismissed by
you, and it disappears 1 hour after yousummoned it.
The DM has the elementals statistics
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spellusing a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the
challenge rating increases by 1 for each slot level
above 5th.
FLESH TO STONE
6th-level transmutation
Casting Time:1 action
Range:60 feet
Components:V, S, M (a pinch o f lime, water,
and earth)
Duration:Concentration, up to 1 minute
You attempt to turn one creature that you can
see within range into stone. If the targets body ismade of flesh, the creature must make a
Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it is
restrained as its flesh begins to harden. On asuccessful save, the creature isnt affected.
A creature restrained by this spell must make
another Constitution saving throw at the end ofeach of its turns. If it successfully saves against
this spell three times, the spell ends. If it fails its
8/10/2019 d&d Next - Chronicles of Mystara v.0.3
17/17
saves three times, it is turned to stone and
subjected to the petrified condition for theduration. The successes and failures dont need to
be consecutive; keep track of both until the target
collects three of a kind.
If the creature is physically broken while
petrified, it suffers from similar deformities if itreverts to its original state.
If you maintain your concentration on this spell
for the entire possible duration, the creature is
turned to stone until the effect is removed.
PROJECT IMAGE
7th-level illusion
Casting Time:1 action
Range:500 miles
Components:V, S, M (a small replica o f you
made from materials worth at least 5 gp)
Duration:Concentration, up to 1 day
You create an illusory copy of yourself that
lasts for the duration. The copy can appear at anylocation within range that you have seen before,
regardless of intervening obstacles. The illusion
looks and sounds like you but is intangible. If theillusion takes any damage, it disappears, and the
spell ends.
You can use your action to move this illusionup to twice your speed, and make it gesture,
speak, and behave in whatever way you choose.
It mimics your mannerisms perfectly.
You can see through its eyes and hear through
its ears as if you were in its space. On your turn
as a bonus action, you can switch from using itssenses to using your own, or back again. While
you are using its senses, you are blinded and
deafened in regard to your own surroundings.
Physical interaction with the image reveals it to
be an illusion, because things can pass through it.A creature that uses its action to examine the
image can determine that it is an illusion with a
successful Intelligence (Investigation) checkagainst your spell save DC. If a creature discerns
the illusion for what it is, the creature can seethrough the image, and any noise it makes soundshollow to the creature.
REVERSE GRAVITY
7th-level transmutation
Casting Time:1 action
Range:100 feet
Components: V, S, M (a lodestone and ironfilings)
Duration:Concentration, up to 1 minute
This spell reverses gravity in a 50-foot-radius,100-foot high cylinder centered on a point within
range. All creatures and objects that arent
somehow anchored to the ground in the area fallupward and reach the top of the area when you
cast this spell. A creature can make a Dexterity
saving throw to grab onto a fixed object it canreach, thus avoiding the fall.
If some solid object (such as a ceiling) is
encountered in this fall, falling objects andcreatures strike it just as they would during a
normal downward fall. If an object or creature
reaches the top of the area without strikinganything, it remains there, oscillating slightly, for
the duration.
At the end of the duration, affected objects andcreatures fall back down.
