Hexes are [[20-mile Hex Map|20 miles]] in diameter. Numbers at the right indicate distance from the north pole in hexes; the direction of north is at the top right, so it must be noted the direction on the map turns 60° at the 30th meridian.

| − | Historically, numerous wars have been waged between Sweden and Ulthua, though there have been no formal hostilities in more than a century. Raids upon Archangel and Egreliia by gnolls take place to this day. Regardless, a significant trade in timber and other raw materials is shipped through the Gulf of Bothnia from Randparn, Lulea, Ulea and Vasa to greater ports throughout the Baltic Sea. During the summer, Archangel is the most important port in northern Europe, having access to valuable furs and rare metals from distant Moscovy and the Ural Mountains.
