The Grand Duchy of Karameikos - Mystara by Clyde Caldwell (1987)

Painted by Clyde Caldwell in 1987, 'The Grand Duchy of Karameikos' served as the iconic cover art for TSR's classic Dungeons & Dragons Gazetteer supplement GAZ1: The Grand Duchy of Karameikos, written by Aaron Allston. Set in the Mystara (Known World) campaign setting, the piece established the signature collage-and-map aesthetic for the acclaimed 14-part Gazetteer line. The composition features a prominent background portrait of Duchess Olivia Karameikos set over a distressed regional parchment map indicating locales like Threshold, juxtaposed against a mounted knight clad in full plate and royal Thyatian purple livery, an armed Traladaran warrior woman, and a hilltop fortress to capture the tensions between imperial conquerors, native traditions, and untamed frontier dangers.
