I'm trying to put on the map the Named locations appearing in the various Earthdawn novels. I had the opportunity to discuss some of them with Telarus, but I'd also love to know what you guys think.
From
Anarya's Secret:
Borzim, the
Opthia River,
Bilim,
Kaer Volost and
Dinazhe's tower. The general region where these are found is pretty clear from the novel, but I may have misinterpreted something. Also, I wonder if Bilim was supposed to be "Billiam", a town featured on an artwork in the Companion for ED1.
From
The Longing Ring:
Thyson (J'Role's home village) and the region know as the
Red Hills (where said village's kaer is located). It's a bit tricky as you can feel the geography of Barsaive was not quite set in stone when that novel was being written. The only hints from the novel is the fact the village is a bit isolated, that the valley is "ringed by craggy mountains", and that the old Theran road leading to Parlainth is only a few walking days away. It makes sense that J'Role and Garlthik would go from Thyson to the Old Road, travel north to Parlainth, then west above the Caucavics with the goal of reaching Throal, only to end in Blood Wood.
