GAZ12 Ethengar, 8 miles per hex
GAZ12’s map has seen much criticism for the perception of its steppes as being far too small for the culture. This of course originated in the X1/Expert Set map. It introduced two new variations of the grasslands hex to make the blanket grasslands of the Khanates more interesting. It also introduced the Post House symbol, which was often repurposed in later fan-created maps.
This map is significant also for the large chunk of Heldann it reveals, although unfortunately there was very little detail to speak of.
