[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 7553749, member: 20323"] I worked up a hand drawn hex map last night – my rough draft of the Valley of Dread... [img]https://i.imgur.com/JDDrgwt.jpg[/img] This probably makes more sense if you've seen a map of Chult (a zoomed in view of official map is in my OP). Still not sure what kind of monster territory/lair I'm putting in hex #6659... Also need another adventure site in Shazak tribal territory, and one in Zopchik tribal territory... [color=brown]Brown[/color] areas are mountains. [color=green]Green[/color] areas are jungle unclaimed by any lizardfolk tribe. [color=yellow]Yellow[/color] signifies a contested territory around Semuanya's Birthing Stones. [color=pink]Pink[/color] indicates a dangerous monster's territory. [color=red]Red[/color] indicates strong yuan-ti presence - what I've dubbed the "Yuan-ti Basin." White (blank) hexes are claimed by the warmongering Akabkan tribe (from [I]Return of the Lizard King[/I]). This tribe is more of a confederacy including multiple lizardfolk sub-races. [color=orange]Orange[/color] hexes are claimed by the xenophobic Shazak tribe (a lizardfolk sub-race/culture introduced in DRAGON magazine for the Savage Coast / Red Steel setting). [color=lightblue]Blue[/color] hexes are claimed by the peaceful/trading Zopchik tribe (from [I]Return of the Lizard King[/I]). This tribe includes mixed sub-races. [color=purple]Purple[/color] hexes are claimed by the Wallara (Chameleon) tribe (a blend of Mystara, DRAGON magazine for the Savage Coast/Red Steel, and [I]Return of the Lizard King[/I] sub-races). I have notes on 7 distinct lizardfolk tribes (more on them later), 4 are single sub-race, while 3 are mixed sub-race.
