GAZ7 Ostland, 8 miles per hex Overview

As noted in the post for the full overview map, this was an excerpt of that map with added dominion numbers. In this case, the subject was Ostland. The actual dominion names and settlements — including numerous villages not shown on the poster map — were given in the accompanying text. Together, these provided a wealth of details to add to the main Northern Reaches map. Fans later did precisely this.

Note that some printings of GAZ7 missed out all of the numbers from all this map. It seems likely that this was an issue with early printings, fixed for later printings, but this has not been confirmed.

Additions

• Dominions — The numbers correspond to a key in the text of GAZ7. This map therefore enables the identification of Ostland’s dominions for the first time.
