[QUOTE="timbannock, post: 9548362, member: 17913"] I picked up the 3 books and worked it into my sort of "grand unified setting" experiment. [LIST] [*]Faerun/FR -- specifically the Sword Coast through the Hordelands -- was the western portion of a super continent. [*]The Hordelands was geographically the same, but was basically the Sundered Empire (3E-era Chainmail setting). [*]Greyhawk was the eastern part of that super continent. [*]Isle of Dread was south of the Flanaess. [*]Seas of Vodari was flipped vertically and replaced Al-Qadim. [*]Returned Abeir simply replaced Maztica. [/LIST] ...and that brings us to Jakandor, which sat way in the southwest, below Returned Abeir, but mostly just cut off from the rest of the world. I found that the timeline of the Charonti kind of worked out such that they were a colony of Imaskar, but got caught off by the mysterious plague that befell the Imaskari and toppled their civilization. So the Charonti were like one "house" of Imaskar that was stranded, doubly so when the whole Karsus thing happened. So they kind of lost some of their history, and thought they were alone in the world. Meanwhile the Knorr were instead viking-style peoples from the Seas of Vodari setting, so they were a bit more mercantile and aware of goings-on in the world, which shocked and scared the Charonti for different reasons. Anyway, I quite liked the setting's tonally "gray" morality, was interested in how remote it felt, and loved the sort of "dueling mechs" aspect. I never got around to running anything there, though.
