Last month I started a Dragons at Dawn campaign for the monthly 'thons at the Schenectady Wargamers Associaton http://www.swa-gaming.org/ . Of course I'm using a Blackmoor setting so I thought i'd share it with y'all. Basically I have once again reworked the "before Thonia Blackmoor" map and its still very crude. Once I'm sure I won't change it again, I'll make a nice hand drawn version. If anyone can suggest kingdoms etc that should or could be added, or if there are any glaring geographical mistakes, please speak up! As pointed out before, I began with Havard's map and mucked about in a paint program.

And here is the Key (Edit - see new key below for "Age of the Id")

The Schenectady Wargamers Association Dragons at Dawn /Blackmoor Campaign

Timeline – History is vague and poorly known by the players. Meaning the DM is free to spin tales as needed. There is a general notion that very long ago the world was more wet and the Sar Aigu were a dominant force. Eventually Dwarves, Elves, and to a lesser extentTrolls, Orcs, Goblins and Dragons dominated the land. However, eons ago humans learned the technologies that have allowed them to become by far the foremost species.

Elves – Elves are not territorial and do not carve out kingdoms. They adopt a clan leader, a matriarch or patriarch Archon and live in “citiesâ€

Interesting map/writeup Dan, but quite different from how I see Blackmoor's surrounding lands.

I especially like the inclusion of Salik, but I see that land more as what you have for Cirkhosia.

The Land of Thralls as hypothesized by David Ross has nothing to do with the Egg's Thralls. Rather it is where the slaves of the Duchy of the Peaks come from.

But always interesting to hear about different takes on Blackmoor. Thanks for sharing! :)
