[v.3.5] Gazetteer of Harqual [REVISED]

[Knightfall]

Gazetteer One: The Lands of Harqual
By Robert "Knightfall" Blezard​

Introduction
This is the first (and primary) gazetteer that exists for the World of Kulan. It is constantly a work in progress and parts of it have been posted here on EN World (and over on The Piazza). However, it has become out of date since I've now advanced the timeline for the world. I've gone through and update many of the entries in my OpenOffice document, but I haven't been able to ensure that the entries in the old Lands of Harqual thread are completely correct. Thus, the need for this thread.

My goal here is to go through, in order, with each post being dedicated to one entry. Almost all of the entries from The Northlands, The Northern Heartlands, and The Southern Heartlands are (99%) complete. However, when it comes to the southern regions of Harqual, I've done a lot less. To keep this thread organized, I've going to keep it as a closed thread. I'll create discussion threads for both EN World and The Piazza where those that wish to follow this project can chime in. I will not be re-posting this over on The Piazza. I'm going to keep it all in this one place.

So, I present the Lands of Harqual in all its twisted glory. I hope it is easy to follow, or, at least, fun!

Cheers!

Whew, that is a lot effort! I'd forgotten about how much work you'd put into your world.

Thanks. Sometimes it feels like the gazetteer will never be truly finished. Hopefully, this process will force me to finish most if not all of it.

I should also note that the gazetteer has changed a lot over the years -- even before I moved the timeline for the world ahead. The parts I've 'finished' in the past need some updating, yet there are sections that have never been started let alone worked on. For example, I've done almost nothing for the islands and seas surrounding the continent, which partly has to do with those sections being at the end of the document.

FYI, I just put up another post, but it's sparse. I don't have a lot for it, yet. My goal is to continue adding entries even if they aren't done yet or are completely brand new. The next two entries, Redstone Clan and Tribes of Zell, are brand new material.

I feel like until what you've done is ready for publication, it will never truly be done. I'm currently working on making an Adventure Path and I noticed that the first parts are VERY detailed because I tend to go through them more often, but also that I come up with ideas that causes me to sometimes change previous things. So until I've finished and am brushing through it for the final time, it will always be in a state of change. Which is good and bad, I suppose.

I'm going to have completely redo the gazetteer. I can't unlock it and don't have mod status for this forum anymore after the Great Crash.

Kulan will never be done. And I'm okay with that. Even if some of it ever got published, it would still never be finished for me.
