Provinces of the Great Kingdom

[Havard]

If you get this out any time soon, I'll be happy to wait up on you, in order to include some tidbits - to achieve at least a passing semblance of congruency. :wink:

Mainly, I would be looking for a Snider family tree; outside of that, I think very little canonical info exists.

But really, whatever you like, if you like to share.

I am in no way expecting you to wait for me. I just thought I would mention that my ongoing project will be touching on some of the same areas. I had not really thought about connecting the Snider familiy to this area, but I do like this idea.

Beyond that, I will be basing the Province of the Western Marshes on various tidbits from the FFC and the DA modules. There is a lot to go on if you only find a way to connect the many pieces of the puzzle. Of course, this also means there could be many interpretations and mine will only be one of them.

- Synobia is the country that monks come from, right?

Correct. That is all we know about it.

- But the bit about Salik is your interpretation, IIRC?

Certainly. It is derived from the description of the Gin of Salik from the FFC. Both the title Gin (Djinn?) and the fact that he travels on a Flying Carpet made me think of an Arabian Adventures style realm. I have recently come across some more hints to where this Gin character may have originated from, but I will need to investigate that further before I can make any more specific claims.

Pardon, mdv*, writing in a haste.

*Yes, I just did that.

Didn't get that one :oops:

Note, though, that I am basing my geographical approach on the Gygaxian C&C map:

Meaning that the Great Bay is South-EAST of Blackmoor.

This is probably a place where our projects will diverge a bit. I have been working on consolidating some of the C&C map features into my Great Thonia map, but I will probably not use it wholesale. As lit looks now, the Great Bay will probably simply be the Bay of Blackmoor and not much more than that.

Atmosphere-wise the region may also be a bit different, but that would be due to the different time periods we are dealing with. I will be describing the Thonian Empire during the reign of Iyx I, a period where Thonia is basically controlled by evil rulers, even if many of its inhabitants are good people.
