There are plenty of places to explore in Blackmoor, or more properly surrounding Blackmoor.
The most obvious to my mind would be searching the Valley of the Ancients for the City of Gods. And what is across the North Sea? Some Skandaharans must have legends and rumours. What's north of the Skandaharans? What's across the vastness of Hak? What other frontiers does Thonia have?
I really like it when my players aquire ships. I like it even more when they get interested in trade (but I have found that this takes some encouraging and many would rather be pirates than traders). Exploring becomes "easy" once the PCs have ships... not that it becomes any less dangerous than overland travel, but longer distances can be mapped out and far away exotic places can be found more quickly.
Does Blackmoor have a silk road? Is there anything Thonia could want that possible routes to have been cut off by the Afridhi? Is anyone daring enough to attempt exploration in Afridhi occupied territory?
