[QUOTE="Yora, post: 8468995, member: 6670763"] The Campaign Set even acknowledges that Moonshae was tacked on. In principle, not a bad idea. But in the long run, it appears that nobody else ever did anything with it later. Though there are plenty of regions in similar positions, especially in the south. From what I remember, the focus has always been on the corridor Sword Coast, Cormyr, Dalelands, Moonsea, and then later the North as well, which eventually became the main focus. (I blame BioWare.) Then there also was some content for Rashemen and Thay and I believe one attempt to do something with Impiltur, but that seems to be about it. Rashemen has a full two pages of description, and Aglarond and Thay both half a page each. Those are very long compared to most places that are described. This makes me assume that this part of the Realms had already been quite developed before this box. Does anyone know anything about their origin? Interestingly, all regions that the Campaign Set regards as northern Faerûn, which are distinguished from the South in the section on rangers: [I]"The Rangers are a phenomenon primarily confined to the North, in particular that region north and west of the Sea of Fallen Stars.
