[QUOTE="AdmundfortGeographer, post: 5743058, member: 4682"] [b]Pondering the ruins and castles of the Bissel frontier[/b] I've cross posted this to a couple other forums where I'd announced my project was restarted. I'm posting it around to hopefully get ideas from people who are interested and would like to influence the final product. So . . . The LGG describes Bissel's northern frontier as pretty much either covered in ruins of old castles and towers, or being built up with new ones. "A large castle-biulding project is underway along the southern banks of the Fals (Bissel's new northern border) and along the neutral zone around Thornward. Ket destroyed many forts, minor castles, barracks, signal towers, and army bases when it invaded Bissel and later when it withdrew." If you compare the amount of detail I was able to squeeze in my Central Flanaess map around the lands near the City of Greyhawk, you get an idea how much I could squeeze in around Bissel's frontier. Do I just scatter ruins about the countryside of northern Bissel? Just put them in a line along the river? How far about should the fortifications be spread in the castle-building project on the Fals River and around Thornward? Bissel's entry says this about Ket's presence, (sometime just in the period 587-589 I think) "Ket completely withdrew its armies, taking control of all Bisselite forts, towns, and lands north of the Bramblewood Gap." It also says earlier that Ket struck in 584 by "attack(ing) Bissel's watchtowers along the Fals River at the northern end of the Bramblewood Gap". Okay, since it took control of sites "north of the . . . Gap", does that mean that Ket moved its forces *out* of the gap? How far out is out? Is getting OUT of the gap in 589 mean getting back beyond the watchtowers that were IN the gap that were attacked in 584? Or maybe this really is just asking where does the Bramblewood Gap start and end? Is Thornward IN it? [/QUOTE]
