Bront: You still planning the psionic adventure? If so, Xir might wait around for it. Otherwise, he might try the maze.

He is, but he's on vacation for the weekend. Hopefully he might also wait for the three psionic characters that will appear after Ashin's Commission ends.

'K. Big, tall, and tatoo'd will stay in the tavern then.

Larkenwold Reach is the hilly area., and the Silverwood starts immediately to its north. The Faerie woods border on the Larkenwold reach, and are at the very south tip of the silverwood. I think it's established that this puts them about 60 miles North of Orussus.

Hmm. Looking at this map, I'd say that the southern most tip of the Silverwood is the tree directly above the 2nd L in LarkenwoLd. My pinky finger against the monitor puts this point more than 100 miles away from Orussus, probably about 120.

Also, why is the Silverwood split in two? There's a major city and a massive flatland (50x300 miles!) in between its north and south halves. I think that makes the southern half a completely different forest.

My understanding is that the Silverwoods start to the North of Orussus. The faerie woods is North of the faerie woods. The adventure series I'm running will take place partially in there. We need a different name for the forest to the South of Orussus.

That would be my take

 

[Rae ArdGaoth]

The major city I was referring to was Rivenblight, not Orussus.

The faerie woods is North of the faerie woods.

What do you mean by this?

 

[Manzanita]

I guess I'm confused by this issue as well.

I intended the Faerie Woods to be in the Silverwood, and not part of the smaller and in my opinion seperate forests seperated from the Silverwood by the Reach. My inability to correctly apply the scale notwithstanding, the Reach is just south of the Faerie Woods, and the Silverwood continues to the North. North of the second "l" sounds right.

Also, I wanted to let everyone know: My home computer broke yesterday. This may slow down my posting somewhat. Not too much, as I have several other methods of reaching the internet, but somewhat. Since I'm a little behnd allready, though, thought I'd mention it.

So are the faerie woods North of Rivensblight? That's where I assumed it was.

 

[Rae ArdGaoth]

I believe Patlin is saying that the Silverwood is both to the north and south of Rivenblight. So yes, the Faerie Woods are in the Silverwood, no they're not north of Rivenblight, they're directly above the second "l" in Larkenwold Reach.

Every time I've looked at the map, I've always assumed the Silverwood was to the north of Rivenblight and there was a vast, unnamed forest of approximately the same size to the south of Rivenblight.

How much of your adventure depends on the Faerie Woods being in "The Silverwood", Patlin? Unless that huge tract of land in between the north and south halves was once forest, it doesn't make sense for cartographers to treat the two forests as one. Maybe it was cut down by men? Or maybe the catastrophe that destroyed Rivenblight severed the forest in two?

I kind of like the "was once forest idea." However, if others want the forests to have different names I don't see the "in the Silverwood" bit as important.
