Dragon 170 Yavdlom, 8 miles per hex
Following on from the previous issue’s hex map of Sind, Dragon 170’s Voyage of the Princess Ark was the first to provide a new hex map at the iconic 8 mile per hex scale of the Gazetteer series. The series would go on to feature many more of these, covering most of the Savage Coast. But this was the first.
The map covers the central southern part of Thanegia Island, centred on Yavdlom’s capital of Tanakumba. This was the first time for the area to appear at this scale; previously it appeared at 24 miles per hex in X6 Quagmire! Tanakumba was featured in X6 under the name of Thanopolis, but Dragon 170 redeveloped the region into the Yavdlom Divinarchy.
