Savage Coast & Great Northway Lands, 22.9 miles per hex (1987)
This map combines all of the areas detailed at this peculiar scale and rotation, including 1985’s Savage Coast and 1987’s Great Northway Lands. The eastern coast of the Gulf of Hule appeared in a non-hex map in X9, and has been adapted to this scale. There weren’t any more extensions to the map at this scale after 1987.
It’s an important map, because all later developments to the area — most notably those in the Voyage of the Princess Ark series — were based on it.

I was very happy to get a copy of “Tortles of the Purple Sage” – not only because it is a much-cited adventure, but also because of the additional geographical information. I’m glad all of these pieces are slowly being combined at last! 🙂
