TEXT: Atlas,
  Being a collection of maps describing the eastern
  regions of Septentrionalis.
  As DM, you can use the maps in this chapter to plan your Septentrionalis campaign, and to
  regulate overland and riverine movement by PCs during an adventure. The first map is a
  master campaign map showing the eastern half of the continent, with the areas covered by
  the four detail maps indicated by rectangles. Key areas which lie outside of the detail map
  area, such as San Agostin, are shown on the master map. Like all named locations in the
  Atlas, they have their own entry in the Gazetteer chapter.
  Point-to-Point Navigation
  The detail maps in this Atlas are designed to allow for point-to-point travel along routes
  between key areas, rather than movement across a grid of squares or hexagons. Four types of
  routes are shown (see the sidebar for info). Routes are divided into segments which link adja-
  cent key areas or waypoints. Each route segment is labelled with a value indicating the mimi-
  mum days’ travel to traverse that segment. Random or DM-planned events can make the
  actual time longer (see the sidebar for event tables).
  Event Tables
  For each day the PCs travel along a route, the DM rolls 1d20 on the appropriate event table
  (see sidebar). I have divided events into three classes: NPC encounters, natural encounter,
  and twists of fate. An NPC encounter is a meeting with NPCs of some sort, either hostile,
  friendly, or potentially either (meetings with indifferent NPCs aren’t considered events; their
  too boring to note). A natural encounter is a natural event, either harmful or helpful, such as
  a tornado, a herd of game animals, snowstorm, or pack of wolves. A twist of fate is a bit of
  good or bad luck which happens to one or more PCs, selected at random, such as a sprained
  ankle, an illness, or the finding of a short cut.
  Benign, Hostile, or Uncertain?
  These event tables do not specify the identity of a particular event -- that’s the DM’s job.
  This system allows the DM to improvise an appropriate event, based on the type of event,
  and whether the situation is benign, hostile, or uncertain. First, roll 1d6 on the following
  table:
  1d6 Result:
  1-3
  4-5
  6
  Situation:
  Hostile
  Uncertain
  Benign
  Hostile events are from the outset a threat to the PCs, who can either fight, give up, or run
  away. Uncertain events have the potential to be beneficial or harmful to the PCs, depending
  on their reaction, for example, an encounter with a group of nomads who are initially wary,
  Key Areas
  Key Areas are named locations, indicated on the
  map by a black star. Each key area has a corre-
  sponding entry in the Septentrionalis gazetteer.
  Waypoints
  Waypoints are unnamed intersections between
  different route segments.Their only function is
  to show where intersecting route segments ter-
  minate.
  Route Types
  Roads (indicated by a solid red line) are unpaved
  tracks capable of carrying not only foot traffic
  and horses, but also carts or wagons.Water
  crossings are accomplished by bridges, ferries, or
  easily negotiated fords. Accommodations are
  available at intervals of a days’ journey.
  Paths (indicated by a dashed green line) are
  unimproved tracks unfit for wheeled travel.
  Water crossings are accomplished by foot
  bridges, or by fords, often dangerous in high
  water. Accommodations are not available.
  Water Routes (Open), indicated by a solid blue
  line, are accessible to ocean-going ships.
  Water Routes (Shallow-Draught), indicated by a
  dashed blue line, are limited to canoes, rafts, and
  other vessels with a draught of one foot or less.
  They often include rapids, falls, and short
  portage areas.

  but could be befriended with a successful Diplomacy check. Benign events are from the out-
  set good news for the PCs; they will gain some benefit from the event: a full belly, some
  information, or valuable supplies, for example.
  Sample Events 
  Use these events as models for your own improvised events:
  NPC Encounters
  Banditti (hostile)
  The number of banditti will vary according to EL of the event. 
  They attack immediately, surprising the party unless at least 
  one party member makes a Spot or Listen check at DC 20.
  Bard (uncertain)
  If not paid to perform for the PCs, the bard will either attempt 
  to pick a pocket or else ride ahead of the PCs and spread false 
  rumors about them, perhaps even writing a catchy but insulting 
  tune about them.
  Ranger (benign)
  The ranger accompanies the PCs for 1d3 days, guiding them 
  past any natural hazards they might encounter, or perhaps 
  steering them safely past an ambush.
  Natural Encounters
  Rapids (hostile)
  Travelers on a shallow-draught water route encounter some 
  unexpected rapids, requiring either a Sail check at a DC equal 
  to the EL, or else a Balance check at a DC equal to the EL +4.
  Log Bridge (uncertain)
  A great tree has fallen across a stream, allowing characters to 
  make a shortcut that would save one day of travel. A Balance 
  check at a DC equal to the EL will get a PC across; if one or 
  more PCs fall in, add an extra day’s travel time to recover lost 
  supplies and dry off.
  Cave (benign)
  The PCs find a small cave, giving them shelter and concealment
  for the night.
  Twists of Fate
  Mistaken Identity (hostile)
  One of the PCs is mistaken for a notorious local outlaw. A 
  Disguise check at a DC equal to the EL will get the PC safely 
  through the area without further incident.
  Lost Wallet (uncertain)
  A PC finds a lost wallet, embossed with the owner’s name. 
  Should he return it and possibly get a reward, or will he keep it, 
  and possibly be misidentified as a pickpocket at the next tavern,
  when the wallet falls out of his pocket by accident?
  Free Ride (benign)The characters meet a farmer in an empty wagon. He gives 
  them a ride for 1d2 days, subtracting 1 day from their overall 
  travel time.
  Encounter Levels
  To quickly determine the encounter level of a
  hostile or uncertain event, roll 1d6:
  Die Roll
  Result
  1 
  PC’s Level - 2
  2 
  PC’s Level -1
  3-4
  PC’s Level
  5
  PC’s Level +1
  6
  PC’s Level + 1d3+1
