GAZ5 Sump and Weir
Alongside its Alfheim Town Area map, GAZ5 provided one other close-up map. This one covered the Sump and Weir, into which all of Alfheim’s magically augmented rain collects and drains. As with the Town Area map, this one used a peculiar setup with huge hexes overlaying what was otherwise not a hex map in form. The scale here matched the inset map of Alfheim Town in the corner of the Town Area map, with a nominal 1 mile per hex.
In terms of content, this map gave a clear overview of the crevasse that makes up the Sump, with three cave entrances draining the water into the underground realm. The width of the rivers was also easily discernible.
