I created the Continent of Naggaorth (named after the WarHammer world), but based it to the northeast of Ansalon so I could have cross over battles between the order of the Samurai and the Knights of Takhisis.

I think Taladas is to the East of Ansalon, or so I remember reading in the Taladas guide. I have actually managed to place Ansalon, Mystara, the above continent all on the same world, even though I regularly conflict what I see going on in other sources

There is a poster map of both Ansalon and Taladas in the Otherlands 2nd edition Dragonlance accessory and Taladas is quite clearly placed northeast of Ansalon.

Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home makes mention of the Tarmak homeland lying some weeks of sea travel to the east of Ansalon. The DLCS even mentions in the Tarmak entry that their island-continent home is somewhere to the far east.

AND of course the two "continents" presented to us in the otherlands supplement. Between Talads and Ansalon there are the elven auqatic kingdom, who's name temporarilly escapes me. Also the south pole, which is a continent, is home to a vast network of underground tunnels, heated by vulcanic activity. There are severel humanoid creatures living here, incl dwarves.

The polar continent to the south is Icereach. The elven undersea kingdom is called Watermere. You can't really categorize this as a continent, given the very definition of the term. Watermere is more appropriately categorized as a nation, or even a region.

Yep, but is a worth emphazising that it is a continent, and not just a glacier as the name could suggest. Also The Icereach is only the northern part of the south pole. The center with the underground caves is called "Chorane". see otherlands page 2-33.

You're not saying that Icereach and Chorane are two different continents, are you? They've always seemed to be part of one polar landmass, so far as the impression I've received.
#12 sweetmeats Mar 07, 2004 8:19:09	I don't have my copy of OtherLands with me right now but IIRC Chorane was just the name given to that crevasse and tunnels by its inhabitants. Its not the name of the polar continent at all.

Chorane is at the center the center of the pole. It is a large crater with tunnels and geisers, where they are four kingdoms below. Chorane is both the name the inhabitants of the pole has given to it, and a mythic name of a fabled land to the south.

I've had the Otherlands accessory ever since it came out in 1990. I just wanted to make sure of what you were trying to say, given the ambiguity in your statement. Chorane isn't so much a crater as it is a large crevasse, but I get what you're saying.
