Region is smaller than its text and with an offset #69

One of the challanges is to visit every place on Atys, thus all outposts and all named areas. One of them is the Ash Gorge.

However it is overly hard to achieve that: the region is in the scorched corridor. The text is written on the boundary to the Thesos region. Indeed there is only a few square metres (circled in the screenshot) where one is still in the scorched corridor and already in the Ash Gorge - and not yet in the Savage Dunes (Thesos Region).

This seems unwanted. I suggest to enlarge the extent of the 'Ash Gorge' area to extend further North and a bit more East so that also the karavan teleporter or at least the small canyon leading to it is covered by it.

The maps are not very accurate. This is a general issue that the lore accounts for. An overhaul is due, but fixing every slight discrepancy would not be worth it until then.

How does the lore account for an achievement for a named region to be litterally as big as 2 steps times 2 steps while the region's name suggest that it is a full gorge? This is not a thing related to lore in the least.

The issue also is not exactly map accuracy - but in this case only the placement of the named area marking (or the definition of the region boundaries) which should be slightly more Southward in this area.

This can be fixed without code change, just a reasonable data change. I don't see how this change is an 'enhancement'?
