[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 9349715, member: 58172"] Here are two maps of planet Oerth. One is official form the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer 2000, the other quasi-official in Dragon Magazine 1996 by Skip Williams and others. It compiles various earlier references to other locations on planet Oerth. Most of the continents on the planet are actually subcontinents of a pangaean supercontinent. The name of the pangaea is Oerik. The north pole continent, Hyperboria, is an ice cap but has some island landmasses within its ice. The map is fantasy versions of reallife ethnicities, such as Erypt representing lands relating to Egypt and Arabia. The Empire of Lynn is the Holy Roman Empire of France and Germany. And so on. The pangaea is like the reallife world map but where the tectonic planes collided Alaska and Siberia together, and what is left of the Pacific Ocean is now the Pearl Sea. Because of this, the northeast of the pangaea, namely Flannaess is North America, here highlighted in the square.

Legends have it a "dragon prince" rules the island. The sizes of the landmasses are vast. The purpose is, each homebrew campaign can pick one small part of the map, with enough space for many lands to flesh out. Here I label a map by Anna B Meyer 2020, to identify the four continents and four oceans of planet Oerth.
