As I mentioned elsewhere (http://blackmoor.mystara.us/forums/viewt...=67&t=2854) in a campaign I run several years ago I made the technolgy found in Falun Caves (described in the Nothern Reaches Gazzetteer) of Blackmoorian origin as in that time it suited me better.
In the Gazzetteer they don't go a long way to describe where and how this technology ended up in Soderfjord (as far as i remember) and state that it's Gnomish technology (the technology described, however, is pretty high tech, such as digital calculators and similar).
A civilization that developed that stuff in Mystara would have necessarily required a very significant footprint, something that I don't see that much in Falun Caves complex and its traces in Mystara history (but of course I may be wrong or, more easily, ignorant). I can more easily see some connection (possibly indirect or forgotten) with Blackmoor.
Do you think this is a synthom of monomania (with a pathological tendency to retconn-nect everythng to Blackmoor :roll: ) or you can see some reasonable connection back to Blackmoor as well?
PS anyway, that might just mean that you suffer of my same kind of monomania... :mrgreen:
