Great Northway Lands, 22.9 miles per hex (1987)
The region north of the Savage Coast was introduced in 1987’s Tortles of the Purple Sage adventure in Dungeon 6 and 7. It built upon X9’s Savage Coast, expanding its factions and story into the northwestern Yazak Steppes. The Great Northway refers to the river — a truly great river, which flows all the way from central Brun down to the Savage Gulf (later called Yalu Bay).
The grasslands hexes could probably be expanded north a little to avoid the current hard border resulting from all the different sources put together in this map.
