And here's another installment in the maps series, the Known Realms alignments... classic style.

Here are the borders of the Known Realms, or at least, as I envision them. Note that in most cases this is simply the widest extent of the territory claimed. The gray areas are wilderlands, where the only rule of law is that at the end of a swordpoint, and the local "king" might rule over ...

Finallky, here is a comparison between the Northlands of the Known Realms and Europe.

Here's a map comparing the Northlands to North America, at the same scale. Messy, but it gets the point across about the size of the Northlands.

Here's a map of the Northlands, at least, the great bulk of it, from Punjar to Ternyziem, and from the Empyrean Ocean to Tiam'Tze. The image has been shrunk by Photobucket, so if you want a larger version, send me an e-mail and I'll send you a copy. This is posted with Joe's permission. http://i33.p...

Er, I dunno about that Harley. After all, I made my career in this industry. Choosing a life of poverty isn't what one would exactly call smart... :) Anyhoo, Denoyer-Geppert also makes maps. The specific map I was referencing was a map of the continental United States. You will see why shortly, when...

Harley, I've got to ask... does the name "Denoyer-Geppert" ring a bell? Specifically "Desk Activity Map 23001"?

Barrier Peaks-flavored material doesn't fit into my Ptolus campaign, so I'm not getting the two sci-fi-flavored modules, but EVERYONE else I know from the 1E era loved Barrier Peaks. Hmmm... excise sci-fi, insert Chaositech, complete with Galchutt-type creatures? Same effect while cranking the horr...

James, If your late getting out any product I'll know why. :wink: Nope, can't blame Known Realms . I must say, though, you've got a touch of Cassandra going there. There's another reason why, I'm afraid, the schedule in fact will be pushed back a bit... more on that later in the week. There are goo...

Well, if you can't tell, I'm working on a map of the Known Realms... this is so I can plot out languages, histories, borders, and so forth. I love workign with those kinds of elements of a campaign setting... Anyhoo, in the Northlands, the hands-down largest water system is the Valfors-Kolheim syste...

Another geography questions... The forest of the Sylvan Downs, between the Saedre River and Dundraville, is unnamed and not described in the Gazetteer. Considering the nature of the Sylvan Downs, I'm guessing it is home to a moderately civilized elven society, but that too is not named in the Elven ...

Hey guys, Got an odd question here. In the Gazetteer, it distinctly says that the Urdu River has its headwaters at the Saramanthian "capital" of Tiam'Tze. It also states that it runs to the Saltwitch Swamp. The map shows the river flowing *over* the Dragonspire Mountains, which are describ...

Might be just as quick to order direct from TLG? :) Although it is nice to hear that it sells out fast in your local shop. :) He could special order it from his retailer... if there's a strong C&C community developing, it will help everyone if the retailer benefits from the sale. I'm sure his r...

James - Excellent list - I like it a lot. I thought I'd just try to provide two points of clarification on the Lostlands: 1) The Vermilion Tribes - I wouldn't really call them elven bedouins, although they certainly can be run that way if you choose. :) They're much more aggressive and warlike than...

That is incredible. Well done. And you tagged all of my archetypes/sources on the money.

Thanks Harley! And thanks for your contributions an awesome campaign setting! I see that I'm going to really have to bust my ass to make my AGP Wilderlands products competitive!

James

Thanks Treebore! I haven't been so excited by a new setting, such as Known Realms, in, well, a long time. The Goodman Games team did a fantastic job on capturing the classic style -- there are elements from just about every classic setting to be found here, all wrapped in a whole lot of brand-spanki...

Here's what I've worked up so far for my own use...

So I'm looking over the Gazetteer, and putting together a list of barbarian peoples and their archetypes, and here's what I've found so far: Northlands Ashoch Elves : Barbarian elves that seek to slay non-elves in the Mirdar Forest. Barbarians of the Frost Barrens : No mention of Vikings, and are sa...
