Once a core setting of Dungeons & Dragons, Mystara was packed with hollow worlds, flying ships, and enough weird lore to make even Planescape blush. But over time, it faded into obscurity—overshadowed by the likes of the Forgotten Realms and Greyhawk. In this video, we dive into the full history of Mystara: its origins as the Known World, its rise in the Basic D&D box sets, its iconic Gazetteers, the Hollow World, and why Wizards of the Coast seems to have locked it in a vault ever since.
