[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8448520, member: 58172"] Both Blackmoor (Arneson) and Greyhawk (Gygax) expand from the proto C&C Society kingdoms map. There are inspirations from North America, as well as Europe including UK, Scandinavia, and Netherlands, and wider Asia. Here is a Gygax-Kuntz 1970s version of the "Great Kingdom" map. Blackmoor, the Egg of Coot, and the Ten Duchies detail the southwest corner of the Great Bay / Hudson Bay / Blackmoor Bay. Greyhawk details the southwest corner of Nyr Dyv / Lake Superior.
