[QUOTE="rogueattorney, post: 2083145, member: 17551"] No setting information was given in the original version of the adventure. This shouldn't be considered too strange, as TSR hadn't published any campaign setting yet; B2 preceded the World of Greyhawk folio by about a year. Given the author, I'd assume it was originally set in Greyhawk. There was a thread somewhere, where Gary Gygax suggested the Keep be put on the western border of the Pomarj. Wish I could find it. I should note, some Cannonical Greyhawk modules like the GD series which were published in the same time period also have no campaign setting information in them. In the 1983 Expert boxed set, there was a suggestion that the Keep be put in the Altan Teppes mountains on the north-east border of Karameikos in the Known World. In the same year, the 1983 World of Greyhawk boxed set listed suggested locations for a number of modules, but didn't list B2 (or B1, curiously, even though it listed a number of possible Greyhawk locations in its first couple of printings). So, as of 1983, regardless of the original intentions, the Keep was set pretty firmly in the Known World. The 1986 B1-9 compilation and the 1987 GAZ1 Grand Duchy of Karameikos cemented this relationship by adapting the location suggestion from the 1983 Expert set. When TSR did the 1999 Return to the Keep on the Borderlands, they put it in Greyhawk, since the Known World/Mystara campaign had long since been discontinued. I believe they put it in the Yeomanry. Kenzer's Little Keep on the Borderland is located in their own Garweze Wurld. Personally, I really like the Altan Teppes location for the Known World and the Pomarj location for Greyhawk. R.A.
