Trail to Denagoth, 12 miles per hex (1986)

While at first glance X11’s 12 mile per hex map looked like a great companion to its 24 mile per hex map, in fact they didn’t match up well at all. The best placement seemed to result from matching them up using the City of Wendar and Geron as landmarks. But even then, the shape of the plateau and especially the northwestern corner of the map were completely at odds.

This updated map takes the best of both maps, preserving the details of the 12 mile per hex scale while keeping to the overall shapes of the smaller scale map.
