I think I must be going blind. I have flipped through gaz 1 four times and I can't seem to find any info om the village of Verge, even though there is text about every other settlement on the Karameikos map...

Apart from the text on Sir and Lady Antonic (pp57-58), there doesn't appear to be any, whereas there does appear to be on everything else shown on the map.

The stuff on Verge has always puzzled me. Were the Antonics characters from Aalston's campaign? They seemed like such an odd addition to the book.

As for info on Verge, I believe K:KoA is better organized, it might be easier to find info on it there. Pehnaligon was also hard to find in Gaz1 IIRC. Then again, these are pretty small places we are talking about here.

By the way, the descriptions of Threshold from The Penhaligon Trilogy would have fitted much better for Verge. Portraying Threshold as a small gloomy village just seemed wrong to me.

Don't know if they were from his campaign or not, but they were major NPCs in the module X12: Skarda's Mirror, written by Allston. That module served as a major part of the development of the later Gaz1: Grand Duchy of Karameikos- at least as far as NPCs were concerned.

There isn't much info on the place in Gaz1, as I recall. I did a brief writeup of it in one of the recent almanacs (the Karameikos entry in 1017, I think), and I got pretty much all of my information from the aforementioned X12 and module B10: Night's Dark Terror.

It's a tiny, tiny village, really. Not much there.
