The lands outside of Blackmoor, again

Hi all,

So, another question for the experts: Do we actually know something about the lands outside of Blackmoor, apart from Blackmoor's immediate vicinity?

I am not talking the C&C map, or Mystara, or the Wilderlands, I am saying, did the original gaming group have any concept of what was behind the borders of their "known world"?

Of course, I have a few ideas myself, but I am curious if there is anything my fellow D&D archeologists have dug out.

Yours,

Rafe

So information from the DA modules is not of interest in this thread?

Is there any? Like, I think the info from DA 1 and DA 4 was something you traditionally used for the GK alone.

I think there are two or three cryptic footnotes one could use from Supplement II, but I don't have any of my books here in Spain...

Yeah, but, don't get me wrong, but I am trying to look even beyond that.

Like, all the places you have named, as far as I understand it, are really just possible extensions of the BM map.

I'd like to peek beyond those extensions.

Like, what is beyond the sea, or on other continents?

Aha, I see what you mean now :)

I'm curious to see what others can come up with there...

I was more interested in the overall grasp of the world - if there was something like a concept of the cultural diversion
or the world geography prior to the C&C society. But indeed, it has little enough impact on the game itself.

The thing is, I am working on a certain setting on my own, and while it has little enough
to do with the world of Blackmoor as it is, I would love to place it on the same planet, at least.

So, probably have one or two small references in there, but nothing more.

Now, that the setting itself will have dozens of small nods to our game here, is an understatement, of course... :wink:

By the way, this is not a simple pipe dream, or whatever. First draft is finished, and resting here on my desk.
Once I have a less troublesome schedule, I'll look to get this going for realz...
