Big picture geographical questions

[Midgardsormr]

I mixed a little bit of Torq's description of Groam with the knowledge that su_liam is working up halflings ("stoutlings") to the south, and I implied that the hillfolk, the indigenous people of the Tawaren and Groam, might have been stoutlings, or somehow related to the stoutlings

I never really pinned down what they are, but at the moment, I'm leaning toward something similar to a halfling, but perhaps a little taller and semi-nomadic.

I think there's plenty of room for variations on that particular theme. There may be several different strains of the race, expressing many different cultures.

Incidentally, I like what you've done with the wiki entry for the Tawaren Basin. I kept futilely checking my own map looking for the landmarks you wrote about. Feel free to work up more data within the western part of Tawaren if it suits you.

I don't think this is going to become a 'finished project' any time soon. My guess is that you're free to make something that appeals to you either:

1. Self contained in your region.

2. A logical extension of any other region so long as it doesn't require a change to what has already been written.

ie. don't expect features of your region to determine the condition of other regions - a culture might think its all alone but the next writer could create another cell elsewhere.

How close are we following this? http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...0&postcount=26
It has seemed to stuck for a few regions, but I'm not sure really.

Its a good measure more as an overview, than a hard and fast thing.

If you think of Groam as being the area bordering the Plaguelands, and think of Groam as possibly being equivalent to Eastern European, and Shergal=Europe in scope.
