| Sorry for the delay still dealing with other projects. However I talked to a person from WoTC about seeing how they feel about using the map. So hopefully they give permission like they did for Clark to use stuff in the Tome of Horrors. |

 Cool! We're in no rush with this, anyway!
The game was very funny, and maybe I'll even do a sequel!  |

I sat down and tried to combine the Southlands with my Blackmoor map. My assumtion was that the big valley in the middle of the map was the Valley of the Ancients, so it effect it is mostly the southern part of the map that is being used. I'd also like to make use of some of the locations you guys have presented in this thread if you wouldnt mind.
If anyone is interested I can post the map here later tonite.

Sorry it took me so long, but I had some trouble getting it to look right. There are still a few things that need to be fixed, a couple of typos etc, but I wanted to let you guys get a look at what Ive been up to. I have shamelessly stolen ideas from your Southlands project, but clearly I am taking it in a slightly different direction. Hope you guys dont mind:

No problem! Your reaction alone makes it worth the effort
Things that will be fixed:
* Typo in Khinzu mountains
* All black text blocks will get a white outline to make them easier to read.
* Molgor Swamp added in white
* Owl River needs a few side branches to make it look right in the Valley of the Ancients
* I'm considering adding texture to vastelands and mountainous regions. Possibly others as well (but its tedious work).
* Possibly adding some darker green base under the Marban Woods.
* Possibly replace Kingsgrave with more Frisian name
* Possibly replace or add locations in the lands of Hak with info from the DAB sourcebook (it was confusing though!)
The map is a Wayfarer's Inn exclusive for now.
By the way, I am also working on a technique to add hexes to these maps while keeping the "artsy" style that I have developed. Not sure if it will be an improvement, but some people really like hexes.

| If you like, I can send you some more materials a friend and I have developed for the Southlands! Gotta consult that buddy, but think it would work out! |

That would be great
Note that I am basing this on the following assumptions:
* I attached the lower half of the Southlands map to Dave Arneson's map as the northern half already partially mesh with the Blackmoor map.
* The Valley of the Ancients needed to be extended so that it will connect with the Wilderlands in the SouthEast.
* The lands north and west of the Wilderlands (south of Hak) is where I inserted most of Rob's ideas about the castle in the middle of the swamp. I also used your name of the Owlwoods there.
* The lands south of the Valley of the Ancients is the Thonian Province of Borno, ruled by the Marcovic family. Since not much is known about this area, we are quite free to develop it as we like. I think the Borno name is taken from Brno in the Czech republic (has a nice castle) and the Marcovic name sounds Serb/Croat to me. I inserted Rob's town of Bulwark here and the Dead Orc Woods along with some of your ideas. Im considering changing the Dead Orc Woods into something else since Orcs dont exist yet IMC, but Dead Beastman Wood doesn't sound quite good either.
Note to Rob: Just to make it clear: In case you dont like my blatant stealing of your ideas into my own project here, let me know and I will change them. I think the names are awesome, but I would have no problem respecting it if you would reserve them for your own take on the area.
