D&D 5E In FR, where do you plug in Blackmoor and Greyhawk?

[Yaarel]

That could work: my inclination would be to replace Kara Tur with the Flannaes, however.

Im considering Blackmoor on the coast of the reallife Hudson Bay, and Greyhawk on the river near the reallife Lake Superior. Whence the Americas. Whence north and south of Anchorome (≈ Canada).

Im reading FR Aurun as a blend of reallife Alaska-Victoria-Baffin-Greenland.

I’d keep Greyhawk as a separate planet. Blackmoor can be the Blackmoor area in the World of Greyhawk, or its own planet as well.

Yeah, if using the Oerth setting, then it already has the Blackmoor region and the Greyhawk region.

If the goal is to merge Oerth into the Forgotten Realms planet Toril, then maybe something like this?

Yeah, that's what I'd be inclined to do.

The Nyr Dyv is based off of Lake Superior, and its history is loosely based off the same as sung by Gordon Lightfoot.

 

[Yaarel]

Yeah, that's what I'd be inclined to do.

So if merging Flanaess on Oerth into Azuposi on Toril, maybe something like this?

 

[Matrix Sorcica]

I've always wanted to to something like this pic, only I would move the two parts closer together. But, the idea would be Faerun facing west and the Flanaess facing east on the Eurasia continent.
(and sorry for the dismal resolution, it's a snippet from a low res world map combining most D&D settings on one map)

Wouldn't you place it in the area of FR where it matches you campaign? If the City of Greyhawk is more historical England, you place it in Waterdeep or such and not in FR Egypt or FR Mexico. I guess it is rather easy to change the flavor to match your campaign, but then why not just keep it in Greyhawk?
