Eastern Territories Question.

Unread post by The Beast »

The map on page 42 shows two settlements called Luna Beach and Myrth near Timiro. However there doesn't appear to be anything else about them in the book. Are they fleshed out anywhere or am I looking in the wrong section of the book for them?

Luna Beach is part of Peningshir, while Myrth is an independent and criminally-inclined community.

The Capitol of Peningshir is not mapped in the booked. :) A lot is missing in the books.... Raf-Chalon etc. Maps are not good for the land with missing cities. The book seems to be made in a hurry and would need a follow up. You could actually make a book on only the southern peninsula.

You might consider looking at my Eastern Territories map (link in my sig) which compiles all the book map information I could find in a single image. It's as canon-accurate as I can make it and includes details that are described, but not mapped, in the book.

Crossing my fingers whenever I hear someone talk about Raf-Chalon.

Love your maps, but I don’t agree with Raf-Chalon. According to the description in ET it is a kingdom between the areas of influence of Wisdom (to the east) and Penington (to the west. Personally, I took that to mean the forest area which is the „wild buffer“ between those realms. In any case a kingdom is probably not a city. That said, an old elven ruin IS mentioned as some few hundred yards away from the Old City Ruin.

Considering how the two are northeast/southwest of each other Raf-Chalon's location isn't likely that far off from where it should be in its description.

Hi there,

no, not far off. Besides, especially with Little Nuggets like Raf-Chalon there is a playground of Interpretation. Yet, if we consider the Little that is there:

source: PFRPG, ET, p. 187

[ON THE KINGDOM OF RAF-CHALON]
Wisdom controls the northernmost reaches of this land while the … Penington family claims the riverbanks further south. Between these two kingdoms are the lands of … the Elven kingdom of Raf-Chalon.

[ON THE RUIN OF AN ELVEN CITADEL]
Over the millennia, the river's course has shifted eastward … some 200 yards/meters from the edges of the western ruin and the river. … It is the site of an old Elven citadel … it has been abandoned for going on one thousand years. Today it is used as a hideout by small groups of nomads and bandits ...


While a kingdom may be as small as consisting of only one city, I think this is unlikely. Even if the city is the centre, like with some cities in the Eastern Territory, such city needs to be provided for by farms, etc. In any case, the use of "kingdom" hints at Raf-Chalon being larger than but one city.

The elven citadel close to the "Old City Ruin" is only a few hundred Yards off the Old City.

I always thought Raf-Chalon is a closed elven realm in the wild woodlands between the powers of Wisdom and Penington. Maybe wrong, maybe right.

There is a lot open. As was said farther up: you got write a book about the south of ET alone.

Kindest regards
Hendrik
