Okay I'm looking at the map in the Campaign Setting and the map in the Guide to River Kingdoms....
When the PCs are near the southern end of the map for book 1 and 2 in the hills....
Where the Owlbear lair is
...what are the PCs seeing? What are they looking at further south?
The map in the campaign setting is hard to really see where the Greebelt is.
The map in the River Kingdoms seem to show an unnamed area of the River Kingdoms. Most of the other territories has large white writing to define it (such as Mivon), but from what I can see, there's nothing depicting what is to the south - it contains Nystra, Liberthane, and Uringen.
Then again, that territory may be more south of the Varhnold book 3 map below the Tors of Levenies - which are not depicted on the Guide to River Kingdom map. In which case those hills are just north of the easter edge of Mivon.
I'm trying to give some help to the players to know what they're bordering, and why not to travel further south - other than some computer game style programming parameters.
Thanks.

Well directly southwest of the Greenbelt lies Mivon (which is below the area you're talking about in Rivers Run Red). If you mean a little further east, IE, the area covered by Varnhold Vanishing, then you're into the Tors of Levenies, and I'd suggest that there's not that much worth looking for in that region until further south, where you do sort of hit that blank spot in the River Kingdoms. It definitely isn't Mivon, and it's not Galt, so I'd treat it as similar to the Stolen Lands - a haven for wanderers and bandits.

That's quite helpful! Thank you very much.
I should spend some time reading up on Mivon, then.

If my players head South, I'll probably use content from "Conquest of Bloodsworn Vale" as the area directly South of the Greenbelt.
