Thibault’s Savage Coast, 8 miles per hex
This is the furthest Thibault took his version of the Savage Coast. After working up all of the base terrain in 1998, he created four panels adding not just labels, roads, and rivers, but also expanding the maps using details from Red Steel. As far as I know, he never combined the panels into a single trail map version. Nor did he return to the area to recreate it with upright hex art — at least, not at this scale.
I have combined the four panels into a single map. At the same time, the original maps only survive in JPEG form, so I have recreated the map from Thibault’s original Grid files and redone all of the labels. I couldn’t resist adding a halo to make them stand out a little more at the same time.
