Converting Age of Worms to the Wilderlands: a few questions

[tassander]

So, I have these two new shiny toys: the Wilderlands Campaign Setting and the first few installments of the Age of Worms Adventure Path.
Although I'm a huge Greyhawk fan I'm thinking about porting the AoW over to the Wilderlands, as we're about to start a new campaign, and if I don't play Wilderlands now it might take a few years till I get the chance to do so - and the Wilderlands are easily the best product I ever purchased.
So I thought about how I'd go about converting it:
The Free City is, of course, the CotIO. The Seekers are the School of Ancient Knowledge, or however it is called. Hextor becomes Morg, or rather: The Hellbridge Temple, the Ebon Triad stuff explaining why the temple erred from the orthodox Morg-teachings. Vecna is replaced by Yog, plus an ancient lich-servant of this deity. Erythnul is none other than Hamarkhis. This explains why the Ebon Triad has to work secretly, as for all its tolerance towards evil cults, the CotIO, or rather its temples, would not tolerate those heretics.
Flint (2125 on the CoIO map) replaces Diamond Lake, the Mermist Marshes replace the Mistmarsh and a Castle (Blackwall Keep) is added to Hex 2223 or 2324. Gnomes will hail from Lightelf instead of Grossetgrottel, dwarves from Thunderhold instead of Greysmere. I will keep the name "Tenser" as that name is fairly old-school and fits well into the setting, methinks.
History-wise: Miska the Wolf-Spider was an enormous apparatus (think: wild-wild-west steam-powered walker) used as a weapon during the war of the pious and the philosophers, the wind-dukes were a faction of the philosophers.
Kyuss was one of the Orichalan Dragonlords, explaining why Tiamat knew about him - or rahter, why Dragotha cared for him.
Dragotha's undead army would then have fought against Kelnore- i think? I'll have to re-read the history section of the boxed set. I'm not sure wheter that is a good fit, though. I'd be grateful for some input!

I could really need some help with the following locations, as well: where would you locate the Rift-Canyon, and wich town would you subsitute for Redhand??

Bump, cause I'm interested in this setting, and would like to see more mention of it to decide if I wanna spend the 60 bucks...

Hey thanks for the ideas!! *yoinked*

How big is Rift Canyon? I really haven't read Age of Worms yet but there should be a couple free hexes or two to just plop it down somewhere nearby.

Hi Mystery man! I'm glad you like my ideas!

I thought things over some more and Ive found a place for the Rift Canyon: The Valley of the Dead Queens on Map 4 seems like a perfect fit! Historywise, to put things in the right order, the Wind Dukes of Aaqa would have to be Kelnor-Mages fighting against the First Men, thus Miska is probably a Demon after all (not that it would matter, as the PCs would never find out the truth, anyway). Kyuss, an orichalan Dragonlord, misinterpreted some information that was left by Spellweavers- these critters feel so alien, that they are just that: Aliens, brought in by the Markrabs. Dragotha's army fought against early Viridistan - geographically that's perfect, as the Valley of the Dead Queens is right next to the City State of the World Emperor.
I'm still not sure where to place Redhand. The lakeshore of the Romillion seems like a good fit, though - anybody have any other idea? For those who own Wilderlands but aren't Greyhawk-savvy (an unlikely combination, though it is): Redhand is a town ruled by an ex-paladin blackguard, surrounded by the evil empire of Iuz and formally a part of it, a town that is of a certain importance as it is situated on the shores of the Nyr Dyv, a large lake with lots of sea-travel and merchants.
What gods would you substitute for Obad-Hai, St.Cuthbert and Zuoken, by the way?

Yeah, I want to hear more about the WoHF too.

I take it that there is a lot of similarity between Greyhawk and Wilderlands in the old-school department?
