TA Question: The Sunset Islands

[Hermit]

The Encyclopedia Turakiana mentions it as only being on the map of page 50. From what I can tell, there's no mention of which realm claims it, if any, or if it is its own realm/kingdom/whatever, though there's no dot showing a city either.

I don't have Fantasy Hero Battle grounds and some other products, so maybe I'm missing something, but is there anything 'official' on the state of these islands that anyone knows about?

[Hermit]

So, I'm guessing not.

drat.

[Labrat]

I recently had some players sail northward between them and Vestria and I honestly couldn't find anything official on them... so I planted a Troll shaman and his brood of Spirit Hawks there.

It's one of those places that Mr. Long, in his wisdom (or his exhaustion) left open for GMs to tailor to their own needs. FH Battlegrounds doesn't really commit the 'modules' within to any place. There are strong suggestions, but the adventures tend to be specific locales that could fit into almost any realm. FHB isn't any help on the Sunset Islands.

It would be a great place for pirates, or a 'barbarian' outpost for Kal-Turak's march southward. Heck, put an obscure Temple there and make an adventure about escorting a zealous druid there where the mystic energies crest during the sunset hours.

In brief, though, O Hermit, no I couldn't find nuttin' on it either.

First, thanks for responding. Second-Neat idea.

Gotcha, Good to know. I really need to get that next time I go on a shopping spree.

Right, so until Steve Long speaks up on it, the island of amazons that look suspiciously like the female cast of the Buffy verse it is. :)

Strange tho' they're ENE of Wossname Point, the northern tip of north Mitharia. Not so "sunset" after all.

That might be key to what's what with them, or not.

Buffy 'verse?!? Oh spare me. :tonguewav

Good point, certainly whoever named them wasn't very aware (Or just plain didn't care) of the geography beyond the Westerlands.

EDIT: And I meant that 'in setting' of course, not a knock against Steve ;)
