Quag Keep and Blackmoor mapping

[Havard]

Via the OD&D Forum, I just came across a link to Erik Mona's research notes on QK.

Some things of relevance to Blackmoor:

Lichis, the Golden Dragon: An eons old dragon subscribing to the forces of Law, Lichis was supposed by many to control a vast amount of memories regarding that which would have otherwise faded into obscurity. The problem was finding him. The Great Lord of Oerthbound dragons, Lichis had long ago turned from the realm of man to take care of more important, and interesting matters.

One of mankind's bardsongs, "The Harrowing of Ironnose," told of a group of evil adepts from Blackmoor (a possible home of Han-gra-dan) who had summoned a Greater Demon with the intent of sundering the world. This malign individual, known as Ironnose, definately not his real name, ravaged Oerth from Blackmoor to the Wild Coast, cutting a swath of destruction in his wake. Lichis had destroyed the demon in combat over the Nyr Dyv and, though wounded, he flew to Blackmoor, which he destroyed to the rock. Of their great adepts, all were defeated leaving only a sense of malign evil that had kept even the most hardy of adventurers at bay to this day. After the battle, Lichis disappeared for a long period of time, nurturing his wounds. He never looked upon mankind in the same way again.

These evil adepts and the Gold Dragon might be worth reclaiming too...?
