ATLAS OF THE JUNGLE COAST
Across the Sea of Dread lies the mighty continent of Davania. It's northern shores is covered with a lush, vibrant jungle teeming with life and dangers. Within these jungles are several clans of savages and barbarians, some humans, others not.
Most of the Jungle Coast is unexplored, and no one is exactly sure what can be found in the vast new territory. Rumours abound of strange primitive cultures with wondrous architectures, such as crystal pyramids or deep sacrificial pits.
The lands of the Jungle Coast are currently undergoing a mass colonisation by the Empire of Thyatis. The natives, however, are none to pleased, and many battles arise from the competition for territory and defending of homeland. Still, the advance of civilisation is steady, and there is much progress in the proper education of the locals.
It is a place where one can brave the new land, carve out territory for the settlers, and defend the poor farmer from the savage natives. All in all, if you enjoy exploration and the new frontier, the jungle coast is the place to go.
The Jungle Coast is a stretch of several hundred miles on the northern shores of Davania. It's exact size is still unknown as it is mostly unexplored. A rough estimate of it's borders would be the Cestian Sea to the east, the Meghales Amosses Desert in the south and the Adakkian Mounts to the west.
Correspondents for the Jungle Coast
Here is our list of correspondents that give us detailed information on the nations, places, and events of the Jungle Coast:
Friedrich von Eisendorf
Every inch of him a professional military officer, Friedrich is Adjutant to His Most Exalted Templar and Humble Servant to Glorious Vanya, Heinz Kronenburg, who is Castellan of the fortress of Vanya's Rest itself, and by extension Governor of all Heldannic territories in Davania. Friedrich is extremely proud of his duties, but he is also more than happy to share with us what he describes as "The fearless exploits of the greatest military force Mystara has ever known" [obviously his own opinion. Ed.].

Marina Takanitas
Marina Takanitas is another new correspondent. At 22, she is one of the youngest on our team, and she brings us news from the newly-discovered Milenian City-States located on the Meghala Kimata Plains. Marina is a trader who hails from Kastelios, one of the biggest, and fastest-growing, port cities in the region.
A cheerful person, her laughing brown eyes and bouncing golden curls are hard to miss in a crowd, but this exterior also serves to shield a very capable correspondent who will stop at nothing to get you, the reader, the ground-breaking stories of northwestern Davania as they happen. No danger is too much for her, and, believe you me, she knows how to use that short sword she carries!
