My theory is that everyone is avoiding it because nothing is mentioned
  about it in the modules description. It is mentioned exactly 3 times
  in the module description, all in or directly after the Setup Region
  table. It would appear not to be a good den-bashing area. It also
  appears not to have any significant cities or guilds (at least not
  that we know about).

Now, it might include Illuminus. But it's not clear.

I expect it will be a fairly civilised area (meaning few dens), with a
  decent assortment of villages and towns, and maybe guild or two whose
  locations aren't given in the module description. But then, what do
  I know? I wasn't even a playtester.

Frankly, if I was setting up a position intended for largely strategic
  playing, I would seriously consider the North, since it will
  probably have the lowest player-density, at least in the first two
  games. That means less competition at the start.

It's slowly filling up. As of thios morning (95-8-30), there are only
  3 positions left in the North for HQ2. Still 5 open for HQ1, though.

Disclaimer: These are all guesses based on careful reading of the
  module descrition. I was not a playtester, and I have no connection
  with the Gamer's Den (except as a customer). If I'm all wrong,
  you've been warned.
