D&D 5E In FR, where do you plug in Blackmoor and Greyhawk?

[Yaarel]

Within the Forgotten Realms setting, where do you recommend plugging in the City of Blackmoor and the City of Greyhawk?

 

[Bitbrain]

In my dad’s games, he sticks Blackmoor where Unther and Mulhorund (unsure of spelling. The Egyptian area) are located in the official canon.

Dunno about Blackmoor but I reckon Greyhawk would fit pretty easily somewhere on the shores of the Sea of Fallen Stars.

Here is a map for easy reference.

To match up with world of greyhawk Oerth, maybe put both in Anchorome?

If Americas, then Anchorome can work, with Greyhawk on south side of the large lake there?

But if Europe, then Blackmoor in north side of Frozenfar, and Greyhawk in south side of Sea of Fallen Stars could work.

Maybe Greyhawk is equivalent to or near Shining Plains, relating to Lake of the Long Arm?

To match up with world of greyhawk Oerth, maybe put both in Anchorome?

Yeah, that would be reasonable enough: there is a Mesoamerican jungle across the ocean to the South of Greyhawk.

I'd be tempted to put the Flannaes on the other end of the big old desert to the East of Faerûn.

I see

Flanaess ≈ Europe
Oerik ≈ Asia

And the Flanaess-Oerik supercontinent as an East-West mirror image of Eurasia, where Europe is in the East and Asia is in the West.

But when approximating Forgotten Realms, Flanaess can might instead correspond to Anchorome (Americas), and Oerik correspond to Shou Lung etal (Asia).

 

[Yaarel]

So maybe something like this?

That could work: my inclination would be to replace Kara Tur with the Flannaes, however.
