Message: <blockquote data-quote="Parmandur" data-source="post: 9740927" data-attributes="member: 6780330">Right, 5 huge regions that are subregions of a gigantic continent. Comparison:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tablelands of Athas: 100-120,000 square miles, like a large Western State of the U.S., the whole Setting in fact</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Calimshan: about 224,000 square miles, so approaching the size of Texas or the Ukraine</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Moonshae Isles: about 100,000 square miles, somewhere between the size of Michigan and Iceland</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">the Dalelands: about 258,000 square miles, the size of Texas or the Ukraine.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Icewind Dale: sort of the exception here, being a 3,600 mile area, or about the size category of Delaware, Azerbaijan or Kosovo...though with undefined wilderness ess boundaries beyond.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Baldur's Gate: depends on how they do this, the city is about a third of a mile squared, BG3 covers about 20 square miles (or about a San Marino), the original game is over 20,000 square miles (or about Bosnia, West Virginia, or Croatia)...but the Western Heartlands are really big.</li> </ul>So, point being, the FR covers at least 3 areas in-depth fairly similar to the entirety of Dark Sun in scope, let alone the rest of Faerûn which is also covered briefly. I would expect less Gazateer material than all of that for the Tablelands.Yeah, I get that. It would be nice: but with a much more concise Setting I could see an excellent single book rendition being very plausible.</blockquote>
