My back of an envelope calculation was about 2 hexes, but close enough,
This reminds me, does anyone have an estimate in terms of square
especially as we don't actually even have an 'official' total number
of clans. (I may have been taking the Colymar as typically,
whereas in reality they may be on the large side.)
miles or acreage what the average size is? (DP is vague about its
scale, and I'm unsure how well it agrees with other maps.)
Cheers,
Alex.
