I know a while ago someone put in some info about the map in the Pen and Paper EQ2:RPG, i managed to scan it, here it is Enjoy! Ohh and check right bang in the middle, Kithicor
Interesting, but a point of order.. the Enchanted Lands should have been between Thundering Stepes and Kithicor.. where TS is the old Plains of Karana
[p]The Shattered Lands map you see is one that I helped create. All of the information is taken from one of my own maps. The big difference is; my map happens to have a few more points of interest on it. Places such as the Dead Calm and the Bottomless Sea will not be found on this map, or should I say, not be marked on this map? I wonder how many more locales exist in those uncharted areas of the Shattered Lands.[/p]

Somewhere between the Forbidden Forest and Kithcor forest should be the island containing the remains of Highpass (and the HQ of the Far Seas Trading Company going by hinted lore on these boards). By the looks of it, The Highbourne would be an area that would make up the old South Karanas and the Arena, along with anything of Rathe Mountains and Lake Rathe that survived. (I know the mountains sunk forming treacherous shoals) And there's probably a large section of land (sunken or on the surface) north of Everfrost, Lavastorm and EL, making up the Broodlands and the nest and areas; which were on EQ's original maps though not added till postEQII. (In a 'modern' EQLive world it would also contain the TSS zones and DoN zones) Oh yeah and hte Forbidden forest is clearly the Unkempt Forest, home of the Unkempt Druids which (to date) haven't made it to EQLive yet.
It may not be a precise fit, but perhaps the Serpent's Fang holds Highpass. I can't recall at the moment if Vhalen's made mention of the Fang before. And yes, there certainly seems to be plenty of material for future additions both from the lands and the seas, perhaps after Rise of Kunark, eh devs? (wink,wink, nudge, nudge )
Also, Highpass is rumored to be the Far see's trading company's HQ. PSSSSSSSSSSSST: Devs! If you add thos places, you won't have to make this map! I already made it for you!
I moved the Isle, because it is obviously in the wrong place in game, because thats where Kithicor SHOULD be.
I dug out the original EQ map that came with my Trilogy. Relating it to the map above in this thread I'd say Broodlands and The Nest would be situated between Lavastorm and Everfrost, north of EL.
Woah, I just had a premonition! Velious has been discovered, however it has been melted! If someone could somehow refreeze it, then more land would be uncovered from antonica! *sees this happening and then land bridges forming between places*
[p]There is something I love about looking at EverQuest Maps, and looking at these maps just made my day :mrgreen:[/p]
