Something is coming on the horizon, and you know it...

So, what are the eleven provinces of Thonia?

We had talked about this in the past.
I am now primarily looking to construct a model map for the LFC.

So far, we have:

0. Marban - I rule that Marban, much like Washington DC, is a province on its own; this is not founded anywhere canonically.

1. Blackmoor

2. Bleakwood - uncanonical, the setting of the "Adventures in Fantasy" Box

3. Markovia (or, Borno) - the Iron Dukes province; canonical, AFAIK

4. Bolgerie - ??? From one of Havard's maps

5, Synobia - ??? From one of Havard's maps

6. Ravilla - uncanonical, from the "Empire of the Owls" game

7. ???

8. ???

9. ???

10. ???

11. ???


Let's fill up the map! Now! :)

Yours,

Rafe

As per the PL campaign, "Geneva" would feel logical as a province...

Greyhawk?

In the FFC, there is a (Large) Capital City "along the coast" and a second Small Capital somewhere inland, apparently since it was reached by caravan.


If you are willing to draw the unique items from Quag Keep (which I think is fair since it comes from a time when Dave and Gary's world was one, there is also the 5 cities of the Great Kingdom (two of which I'd guess could be ther aforementioned capitals) and the:

Island Duchy of Maritiz

I think Greyhawk could definitely be a possibility - probably as "Dunfalcon", the realm where Troll Lord Games' Catsle Zagyg was located.

As to Quag Keep/Island Duchy of Maritiz, I am not entirely sure, but given that my map is based on Greyhawk's Great Kingdom,
and that one has the Sea Barons on its shore, why not?

For reference, here the maps of Greyhawk's Great Kingdom (caution, big):

I am tempted to include Ahlissa, for no other reason than I like the name.

Another very hot candidate would be Rauxes, given that it is mentioned in the first D&D fiction published in Dragon,
hence existed before Greyhawk (the setting).

Also, I have a few good maps for Rauxes... :)

Had to check the whole Marban/Borno/Thonian Rand/Markovic connection for myself:

Thonian Rand: Region of Thonia bordering on the North
Markovic: Duke Taha Markovic is the Thonian in charge of the Thonian Rand
Marban: Marban is a small town where Duke Markovic is based
Borno: Taha Markovic is also known as the "Duke of Borno". Probably Borno is the biggest Duchy on the Thonian Rand.

Sounding good to me, except Cirkhosia. On my map I have Cirkhosia as a coastal desert kingdom fae SE of the Great Kingdom. Salik is the capital city of Cirkhosia. These two work well together as the hint of the "Cirkhosia" (ala the middle - eastern circassian) traveling merchants (Phonecian?) and the "Gin" (djinn) of Salik hint of middle eastern/desert connections. I don't think they make sense as GK provinces, so much.
