One of the "Alternate Oerths", the world of Yarth is the home of "Sagard the Barbarian" of the Heroes' Challenge novels series. His adventures are detailed in the novels; The Ice Dragon, The Green Hydra, The Crimson Sea, and The Fire Demon. Yarth is similar to Oerth, but has the feel and magical equivalency of Robert E. Howards "Conan" series. Although the books are quoted that this all take place on Greyhawk, Gygax mentioned this in a Polyhedron artcile circa 1984.
So far the series of books start out in a familiar place, the lands surrounding Grendep Bay. However as you go further south, the North Kingdom and everything else is replaced with the map above. Relmor Bay is land locked, there is no Woolly Bay or Sea of Gearnat. This new area replaces the lands that would be the Scarlet Brotherhood and Hepmonaland.
