El Jefe's Comment

At first glance, I thought one of the most vague and least accurate "facts" in the thread to be the bit about the desert being "hundreds of miles to the southeast" of Orussus. However, on inspection, the map shows that the closest desert to Orussus is at least 200 miles, no matter which direction is chosen. So, to my surprise, the bit about the desert being "hundreds of miles" away is literally true. Hmmm...

I located Briarton by just going southeast for 5 units, then west for 2 units. Voila, that takes one to 3-4 units south-southwest. Substitute "days" for "units" and there you are. For those of you who understand the math, I just summed a couple of vectors and found the resultant. Yes, that's a bit of a guess, but given the source material, that's all I had to work with...

Cross-checking with the "Thurgan and Krug" thread shows that the numerically- and vertically-challenged party (Thurgan and Krug were both dwarves, and the only party members...) travled "2-3" days on the Fallon road to get to the orc infestation. They must have then travled nearly due south to get to Briarton...which all fits.

Briarton must be small, because it isn't on the map. The description of the town, with fewer than a dozen non-residential structures described (and that was before some of them were razed), reinforces the "small" concept.

I'm more concerned with the "two small streams" that converge in Briarton. Obviously, they, too, are too small to be indicated on the map. And given that there are a large number of small, unmarked fords on the road from Orussus to Allimon, maybe that's a good thing!

The "small town" 6 days east of Briarton isn't on the map, either, which is hardly surprising.

Rystil Arden confirmed the above.

Rystil Arden says "if you find something interesting in there that you want to use, awesome! But please contact me before using any of it because I have adventures running that refer to all of that, so I can provide you with more details to help out, and tell you which parts I may still be using."
