Yeesh. I looked at the map and thought "I actually feel embarrassed for WOTC that they think this map is satisfactory." |

Incidentally, do male elves shave their chests?
Only if they are to look like native american hunters. *yawn*
So I guess at some point a bunch of white guys will arrive and stick them into reservations?
The Native American look really does remind me of the Kagonesti. I guess that's the point. |

The map doesn't tell you much, that's for sure. |
"Instead of asking why we sleep, it might make sense to ask why we wake. Perchance we live to dream. From that perspective, the sea of troubles we navigate in the workaday world might be the price we pay for admission to another night in the world of dreams." --Richard Greene (letter to Time) |

C'mon! No way! It's got ... lots of grey in it.

And grey is used in 4E FR maps to represent... wasteland? "Spellplagued" areas? Boring areas? |

Isn't that what Realms humans do to the 'poor' elves anyway? "Yeah, ya can stay in them thar forest, pointy-ears. Stay thar and don't let us see ya outside them thar forest neither." *
* forest = wasteland = spellscarred = gray area |

I can't fathom how someone would prefer that gray wasteland to the detailed, rich fullness of Halruaa.

That attitude might possibly be due to one half-elf baby too many. |

It's possible there will be a new NPC known as Glee Max. He was once a humble town guardsman but then some bad orcs tortured his buddy. Now he roams those bad old grey lands with his metal horse kicking monster butt and stealing dinner money. |

That is just unsubstantiated rumour. Last I heard, those bad orcs got 'im too. And not a moment too soon, since it was later found that he was an agent of the Abolethic Sovereignty, using the stolen lunch money to fund their return. |

Shh, not so loud! Else you can read this in the first WotC Web Enhancement to the 4e FRCS or FR Player Guide ... |
