Heights and Altitudes
by RobinBroken Lands
I readjusted or expanded the Canon informartion of Gaz 10 as there were too much inconsistencies, lacks of information, contradictions, and outright impossibilities as seen to flow patterns of water. Compiling all canon sources(Canon Sources TM1, Gaz Ethengar, Gaz Broken Lands, Gaz 3 Glantri, amongst others), I came upon many flaws. With the making of my 1-mile hex maps of the Broken Lands I corrected these (there is one section still unresolved --yet this will be explained soon)
Broken Lands west
Broken lands east
The values after the name are the known canon sources, the ones after readjusted as I used them in my corrected 1 mile hex maps
Black Hills 450 Readjusted 1450
Black mountain ?? Readjusted 4000
Careanna ?? Readjusted 1000-1759
Sun's Anvil 800 Readjusted 4050-4575

Natoka's Grave 2500 Readjusted 2500
Broken Lands south mountains ?? Readjusted 7000-7650

World Mountain(Ethengar) 10.459 ft (3188 m )
The slanted plateaux of Ethengar is set canonnically at an average of 3800feet (Readjusted the plateaux with this canon west tilt, the eastern coast, and the lowest of the Broken Lands -the Sumpf- I came to the following altitudes; 3800 NW, 4000E, 385SW, 3900SE, 4400N+NE, between 3300 and 400 W, between 3800 and 400 S),
The World Mountain thus thrusts an average of 6500 feet above the grasslands...a real domineering sight.

Floating Ar
between canon 10000+ readjusted 3900 and 24000
Hometrees
Elven home trees 150-200 (gaz 5 page 16)
Elven sentinel trees 200-400
Clouds
Cloud giants thus would live either on Altostratus (13000-20000 feet)or on clouds 3000-6500 feet
I could imagine Storm giants having relocated the stole cloud giant castles at 24000 feet+
This remains consistent with Storm giant adventures of later editions

The Faedorne Shining Isles can only be reached by a silver flying ship from the shattered pillars The description says'the stars beneath your ship are indeed stars!" Which means you are way further up than the breathable atmosphere to be able to see this....as it does NOT say Mystara is no longer visible it can be assumed this is extraordinary far (high) away or just thus high stars will be visible down to the sides of the planet. As sunlight still affects the islands "...where it is daytime. " the last seems the best reasonable. thus a height of several miles beyond the skyshield/atmosphere of Mystara would be reasonable to enable this to be seen as thus, yet still follow the same light affecting. As the moon is important in this, maybe somewhere inbetween Mystara and Matera??

leads to the Kingdom of the moon. no further detailing; thus either shining islands or the moon Matera or Patera itself. as Matera is surface dead it could lead into hollow moon, or onto surface of Patera /Myoshima
