[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 9531039, member: 907"] Real-world equivalent would be approximately the size of Germany or Colorado. Which certainly isn't nothing, but for other settings it'd be more like a sourcebook for a country or region, not "The World". That said, it was expanded to about 8 times the size in the revised box (the original map was expanded to be at the center of a map about twice the size in each direction, and then another map of the same size was added to the north of that), and even the original box clearly stated that there were populated areas beyond it. There's a road heading off to the south of the OG map, and I believe Draj was said to trade with cities north of the map. But the Tyr Region is fairly regionally isolated, particularly to the east and west. To the east there's the Sea of Silt, and to the west there are the Ringing Mountains (which is described as tall enough that breathing can be a problem) and the Forest Ridge, and after that there are the Hinterlands with their bands of roving thri-kreen.
