Dragon 196 Black Orchid Tribelands, 8 miles per hex
This map was an inset of the Orc’s Head Peninsula 24 mile per hex map, providing a close-up view of part of Nimmur’s border with the Dark Jungle: the Black Orchid Tribelands. Strangely, the tribelands themselves are rather blank, and the orcish fortress of F’faug is half cut off at the edge of the map. This one seems like a bit of a wasted opportunity.
