There are whole swaths of land in the northern Flanaess that are fairly… blah. I look at the map and I see a perfect spot – the aptly named “Gibbering Gate” in the Rovers of the Barrens. Once a prison/asylum of Iuz’s, he could have easily imprisoned an alienist whom he should have kept a more watchful eye on. And I’m thinking a fairly significant incursion is necessary, and in a completely chaotic manner - stretching into the northern Fellreev Forest, the headwaters of the Coldrun River, towards the Bluff Hills but primarily snaking it’s way haphazardly into the Rovers towards the Sea. This will leave a nice, noticeable blight on the map in a remote, but not too remote region.Another potential area is somewhere in the Wolf Nomad/Tiger Nomad/Lake Quag region. Big swaths of nothing there ripe for some new alien geography.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> I was thinking of a HL adventure possibility where one of the Great Beasts wanders into the region and leaves as a Far Realm monstrosity that corrupts everything it walks over (a little nod to Princess Mononoke there).Another thing I think should be addressed is all the remote Barbarian Lands (which seriously need to be renamed) that are so isolated they really can’t interact easily with the rest of the world. So either something has to happen to those lands to make them so cool you’d make the arduous trek, or alter the landscape in such a way that it would make it easier for them to sail into the central Flanaess. I was thinking you could have an event happen (possibly during the Elemental War) that splits the Eastern Continent from Relmor Bay to Grendep Bay, following roughly the river that cuts through the Adri Forest. Then that eastern region where the Kingdom of Ahlissa and North Kingdom are now become their own sub-continent and you have a broad (at least 2 or 3 hexes wide) water access to the Barbarian Lands (and them to you). That leaves the door open then to some good, clean viking-pillaging fun in the central Flanaess!  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />  Maybe throw in some Giant/Barbarian alliances, a fleet of Giant War-barges and a burning desire to sack Greyhawk City…</blockquote>
