The first published information on the area was the module X9 The Savage Coast for Dungeons & Dragons Expert Set. The region was later expanded in Dungeon magazine issues 6 and 7 (1987) with the adventure "Tortles of the Purple Sage". Two articles in Dragon Magazine, "The Princess Ark" and the "Known World Grimoire", described the Savage Coast at a later time in history. These articles were reprinted in the D&D game accessory Champions of Mystara (1993)[1]
