Hi,

I'm looking for a bit of help from people who have read/role-played in the Dragonlance world more recently than I have. I've attached a map to this showing the various nations involved in the war of the lance (some of you may recognise it as a homemade overlay to an the TSR module that covered the war from a strategic point of view). I'm keen to add a lot of geographic names, such as rivers, mountain ranges, passes, names of sections of forest, bodies of water, provinces etc. to the map, but I no longer seem to own much material beyond this module and can't remember much from the top of my head. I'd be very grateful for anyone who can identify some of the geographic features, or it anyone knows of a map or similar that gives this information.

Thanks,

Robert

I'm assuming the grey splotches above Vingaard and below Palanthas are mountains. If so then that's the Vingaard range where Bombards are made.*

*Not sure if that's the right time period for your purposes but it's the most recent book I read

Yep, grey splodges are mountains, and yes that is helpful.

Well, in Abanasinia, you have Xak Tsaroth, Solace, Haven, Pax Tharkas, and Darken Wood. The very bottom area of the map is Ice Wall Glacier, and over to the east, under the Blood Sea of Istar (The Maelstrom) Flotsam should be there somewhere. The minotaur isle above Mithas is Karthay. And that desolate wasteland east of Tarsis, the City by the Sea (there is no sea anymore, by the way) is the Plains of Dust.

That's all I've got right now. I don't have any other maps handy. Hope that helps you out though!

You might want to see if you can purchase Tasslehoff's Map Pouch: The War of the Lance. It has a poster map of the continent during the War of the Lance. It's very detailed.

There are PDF versions of all the map pouches here:

I happen to know the talents of the cartographer, too, and they're considerable. ;)
