Dragon 158 Green Bay
Dragon 158 featured the last episode to have a regular course map of this style. After this, the Princess Ark headed to space, and thence to the Hollow World. While there would be a few intermediary maps, the regular maps would not resume until part 16, in Dragon 169 — at which point they changed to a hex format.
This last map of Davania expanded the series’ maps south past the Vulture Peninsula to Green Bay, adding a few details along the way. As with the other course maps, there’s not a huge amount of development here, just some general features.
