Bluffside in the Scarred Lands

[MEG Hal]

Sokay Hal. I just thought I'd mention that since I'm now announcing that I am ALSO going to the NEW spokeman/Pr guy for Azerok/Dark Portal Games.

So everyone BUY a copy of Engima of the Arcanexus!!!

How do we "hire you" to PR us as well?

I'm easy Hal. Just ask.

Yeah, I've been debating on where to put Freeport on the SL map. I'd be interested to see what others say.

I placed Freeport in a small island in the Blossoming Sea, some miles south of Ankila, a keyplace for merchant vessels (and thus pirates). Kind of bridge for future expeditions to Termana.

You're always watching Hal! But seriously what I like about Bluffside is that it can fit ANYWHERE in the Scarred Lands, but I do think the original poster has the best idea so far. That's at least for Bluffside.

Thanks!

The more I look at it, the more Darakeene's northern territory, near the Devouring Reef, makes sense.

It gives me a nice area, off to the side, with which to play with, as well as loads of 'non-city' spots to drag the PCs off to, if I so wish it - well, if they wish it too, but I'm sure NONE of them are looking at this thread, right?

Anyhow, I've had a soft spot for the Scarred Lands for a while, since they're the only place I've been seen in-print thus far, and I'm very enthralled by Bluffside.

The city is interesting, the back story is pretty original, and some of the NPCs are just perfect - I've always liked the idea of adventuring-archaeologists - plus the on-line files for it, via the login/password option, are pretty useful.

So, thanks!

As for Freeport - I think if you look just barely to the north of where Calastia's border hit's the southern edge of the Blood Sea you'll see a 'notch', it's basically pointed at by the Peninsula of Corean's Cleft. I think this 'notch', obviously a natural harbor and away from much 'official' influence, would be a perfect spot for 'Freeport. It has access north into the Blood Sea, and then South and West into the untainted seas.

Just my opinion though.
