Howdy all,

It's been a while since I've owned a copy of the module. Hopefully I'll track one down, but in the meantime, where did the ship crash? I seem to remember it being lodged in a mountain range somewhere up north, but which nations were involved? Did Veluna send the PC expedition, or was it some other power? By-the-by, has anyone ever incorporated this module into their campain, for example, taking into account the possible disruption of the local balance of power posed by the ship's technology? I thought it might be fun to run a game in which the PCs are racing against competing parties from, say, the Brotherhood, and others...

Gosh, hex references and everything. Thanks. So, do you happen to remember which polity hires the player characters initially?

No...sorry

The Hexes came from Greyhawk Boxed Set (Pre Ashes I believe). I found the listings online so I didn;t have to dig mine out ;)
