The Living Greyhawk campaign shares its take on another Mysterious Place. This time the campaign illustrates the Solhabeners in Haven of the Sun. There is some interesting Oeridian history that some Grehawkers may want to read.

Check it out HERE.

I enjoyed this a lot. Creighton, Paul, and Stuart wrote it very well. If any of those gents show up, I'd love to hear where they've imagined placing Solhaben.

I thought this was a good article and reminded me of the flavour of Adventures outlined in the '83 boxed set Glossography. Certainly one I will be adding to my collection.

This one slipped past me. Interesting starting point for a Hepmonaland adventure, maybe even a launching spot to Dungeon's version of the Isle of Dread? I like jungle settings, don't use em often enough though.

Are there any comprehensive lists of links to the materials published by the LG Traids as Mysterious Places, extracts from the early LGG articles, etc.?

Thanks for the kind words!

As to where Solhabenn might be, I haven't really placed it firmly on the map (and don't have my Scarlet Brotherhood supplement to hand), but somewhere south of the Pelisso Swamp and north of the Touv lands on the east coast of Hepmonaland. Somewhere that would make a logical stopover for ships moving between the Duxchans and the Touv cities.

Not specifying a location allows for a degree of flexibility for DMs.

Regrettably, there is not a convenient listing, Allan. The Living Greyhawk Cricle does not keep its own archive for the campaign. The best you can do is sort through the RPGA's full list of articles - which lists article for all of its campaigns (Legacy of the Green Regent, Living Force, etc.).

You can view the list HERE.

Living Greyhawk does keep a short list of "Resource Articles", HERE.

I hope this helps.

Somebody at LG should definitely get onto that project! An archive would be so cool and, I would have thought, very helpful for LG Dms.

I've been stitching together my own gazeteer from all available sources. You can spend hours searching and it's pot luck if you come across a juicy article with relevant info. I've spent hours trawling through the Yahoo message boards looking for tidbits. I'm quite jaded with it now!

The Triads do not (at least not consistently) seem to be keeping gazeteer details from retired modules, such as villages & their npcs, or places of interest in larger, official towns, where modules have been set. One small example is that of an old Urnst module that was set beneath Crystal Springs - a known place of mystery. Basic information on what was down there is now lost to most of us.

It seems such a shame because it means that the LGG is quite fragmented when it could gel really well and expand on the WoG nicely.

I suppose that the only way to make sure you don't miss anything is to buy all the modules as soon as they come out - lol. Unfortunately, I don't have the cash! Ah well.
