Where in Greyhawk is Sasserine?

[Malvoisin]

Does the city of Sasserine have an established location in the world of Greyhawk? Somewhere in the holdings of the Sea Princes perhaps? If anyone has any information to share, I'd appreciate it.

If your computer has a better zoom feature than mine does, you can try to check out this map for its location.

If you have the four part Greyhawk map from Dungeon, then its at the very bottom of the map (when they are all together). It's actually not far from Cauldron or the Spire of Long Shadows (from the previous two APs). I'm going by memory, but I want to say it's at the very bottom just left of the center. It's on the Northern part of a penisula there.

West of the Azure Sea, look for the Jeklea Bay. The city of Sasserine is south of the big "J", along the coast where the Hellfurnaces mountains border the forest (jungle?).

What was the scale of the hexes on the Dungeon Mag 4 sheet map? I can't find one and would like to for when the group starts off for The Isle of Dread.

I've got it right here. It says, "one hex equals 30 miles."

Ahh, now I see it. That just don't work. Sasserine and Cauldron are within 15 miles of each other that way. I thought that Cauldron was supposedly like 80 miles away.

I think I read somewhere that it's close as the crow flies, but the road is winding through hard bush(?)
I remember in Costa Rica, you could travel hours and hours to get somewhere 30 miles away on paper because it's all mountains and ravines and stuff.

Cauldron's in the wrong location on the big Greyhawk poster map, unfortunately. It should be a bit further south... about 80 miles, as it turns out.

A more accurate map that shows the relationship between Sasserine and Cauldron (and Sasserine and Scuttlecove, and Sasserine and the Isle of Dread) will be appearing in issue #141.

Thanks, Chief! I love how the All-Powerful Twin J is never too busy to help out a subscriber with some lame question. Love you guys and keep up the good work!

I can't wait to see the new map in #141. Is it going to be a big fold out poster map?

Giddy with anticipation,

#141 will indeed have a fold out map, but it's a minis-scale map of the Sea Wyvern, the ship the PCs sail south to the Isle of Dread. The map of the region to the south of the Amedio Jungle is a half-page vertical map. If we did it at the same scale as the poster maps, it'd probably take up 2 maps, one of which would be mostly jungle and one mosty ocean.
