Mon Apr 04, 2005 1:34 pm Hochoch? North or South?

I have a question of geography for the community. On the Darlene map of '83 and the latest Dungeon maps Hochoch is shown north of the Realstream, but in Against the Giants it is clearly shown south of the Realstream.

My question is does the Dungeon map merely replicate an original Darlene error or does AtG which details the whole area in more detail, show a more accurate representation

Or doesn't it really matter?

Any input accepted.

Hope it helps.

BTW: I always go with the oldest source. Darlene is corrrect.

Yabusama,

Comparing the maps, only the AtG map shows the city South of the Realstream.

Comparing the scale, the AtG map also has the Oytwood and the Dim Forest as one-half the size of the other maps.

I'm thinking that the AtG map, while neat to look at, is pretty inaccurate. So IMO, the Darlene/LGG/Dungeon maps are correct.
