[QUOTE="El Jefe, post: 3089009, member: 19990"] Well, we all seem to have a "disconnect" with regards to the LEW geography. The EnWorld hexagon or "disc" is 25,000 miles across, or about 3 years walk from edge to edge. The two EnWorld maps that we've been using are "only" about 1200-1300 miles wide (maybe 2 months walk), and only represent a relatively small area around Orussus. So, when you say that there's a desert to the southeast, there is easily room for what's on the map, a Sahara-sized desert, another termperate area the size of the map, a jungle area the size of the map, a third temperate area the size of the map, and then another Sahara-sized desert before one gets to the Tower of Fire. And you could substitute a third huge desert for the jungle if you wished. LEW is a [I]big[/I] place. For that reason, I don't get too bent out of shape over the placement of an area that's "off the map". There's a lot of spare room out there, you know? I do look out for "the land of Fergynog is about 2212 miles due north of Orussus" in one adventure and "Poleyn city, the capital of the vast lands of Smorgnyg, is 2204 miles north-northeast by north of Orussus" in another. But so far we haven't even had a near miss with stuff like that, the EnWorld disc is just too huge. And I still don't know who provided the two maps that I reposted in the "Guide to Living EnWorld" thread, or if they've been adapted from some commercial product (they look like they might be). If anyone knows...? [/QUOTE]
