GAZ5 Alfheim, 8 miles per hex
All of Alfheim’s rivers flow towards the sump & weir, marked on the map as a spiral. From there, they drain underground. GAZ5 unfortunately continued GAZ2’s trend of not marking villages on the map. It introduced two new symbols for good and bad magic points, and used a palette change for the great home trees of the Canolbarth Forest.
