The area the charter requires the PCs to explore includes hexes 2A-2F, hexes 3B-3F, hexes 4B-4F, hexes 5B-5G, hexes 6A-6F, and hexes 7B-7E. Each hex is either made up of primarily hill country or primarily forest country, with each requiring a different amount of time to travel across or fully explore. Note that traveling across a hex is not the same as fully exploring it, and just traveling is much faster.
Also note that survival checks will be required to avoid getting lost while moving in a hex that has not been explored (aid another is possible in this case). As a group, the PCs can decide how best to move through the Stolen Lands, what areas to focus on, or where to head. The overarching goal is to fully map this area, including all landmarks, resources, and so on.

Hexes 2A-2D;

NEW CHARTER FROM THE SWORDLORDS OF RESTOV: STAG LORD - WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE!
This thick parchment bearing ornate flowing script and the seal of the Swordlords of Restov states that the bandit leader known as the 'Stag Lord' is wanted "Dead or Alive," and that if he can be removed from power, the chartered explorers of the Greenbelt will be greatly rewarded. Word of the Stag Lord’s defeat must be sent to Restov — if his body is not available as proof, an agent of the Swordlords shall be dispatched to confirm that banditry in the Greenbelt has been eliminated.
REQUEST FROM KESTEN GARESS:
"A few months back my men and I worked with a mercenary, a Varisian named Falgrim Sneeg. One night while he was on watch, Sneeg killed his watch companion and robbed our group. We're lucky he didn't kill all of us in our sleep. We've heard word that he fled into the Greenbelt and became a bandit. I'd like to capture him alive so that I can return him to Restov for punishment. If you come across Sneeg while you're out in the wilds and can capture and deliver him to me alive, I can arrange to have you rewarded with four masterwork weapons. If he's delivered dead, I can only promise two weapons. You'll recognize him by a scar he's got on his right cheek - it's shaped like a crescent moon. That, and his right hand has been replaced by a steel hook."
NOTICES AT OLEG'S:
Several posts are still tacked to the bulletin board outside Oleg's house:
An old piece of worn leather bears the following message in jagged script:
Wanted - Fangberries:
If anyone comes across a particularly rare (and delicious!) type of raspberry known as 'fangberries,' I would be more than happy to offer a hefty discount on any of my potions you would care to purchase from me in exchange for a basket of these berries. If interested, please bring the berries to my hut, about a day's ride east and slightly south of Oleg's Trading Post.
Signed - Bokken
A curling piece of parchment bears a well-rendered drawing of the head of a draconic creature, and the following message in neat flowing script:
Wanted - Tatzlwyrm:
Tatzlwyrm's are rare creatures, even though every trapper and his mother claims to have had a run-in. That being said, a tatzlwyrm head would make a great trophy for my trading post main hall. Bring me one intact and I'll give you 600gp in credit for any goods I have here or requisition from Restov.
Signed - Oleg
A weathered scrap of parchment, just barely hanging onto the board by one tack, bears the following faintly legible message in large blocky letters:
Wanted - Tuskgutter:
EVERY GREENBELT HUNTER HAS A STORY ABOUT TUSKGUTTER, EACH WILDER THAN THE LAST. A NASTY GIANT BOAR, THIS ONE IS. TOOK MY LEG NEAR A YEAR AGO, AND NEAR GOT MY LIFE. BRING ME HIS HEAD AND I'LL GIVE YOU A FINE CRAFTED LONGBOW AND SIX MAGICAL ARROWS. PLUS, I'LL SHARE THE HEAD CHEESE I'LL MAKE OUTTA THE BASTARD'S NOGGIN!
Signed - VEKKEL BENZEN
