Hi, sages!
I was reading my old 1st edition Moonshae accessory, and once again stumbled upon the missing paragraph of the "Gnarhelm" section. The end of the 50th page is blank, under a map, and the text on the next page (52, because the 51th is a big picture) is incomplete, as if it is continuing a text that should be in its anterior page.
Was this missing paragraph ever posted or published? Since the sourcebook was written by Douglas Niles and there's no thread dedicated to this author in the Chamber of Sages, I think here is the place where I could find some info, if it really exists and is somehow available.

No one can help me on this issue? I've recently ordered a copy of this book in "Amazon" (I previously had a copy borrowed from a friend), and I'd appreciate to know about the lore that was lost in the missing text... |

These sorts of misprints happen.
You're talking about a 1E TSR accessory from a quarter century past, I doubt the authors could still recall such minute details and I'd be surprised if the original documents survived two corporate takeovers and 3½ subsequent D&D editions. It's probably lost forever unless reprinted editions of that particular product exist. |

I discovered missing content in a Polyhedron article, and I've never found what that content was. |

There is a Moonshaes keep in space, if you want to look in the Realmspace accessory. A bit of interesting history to go with it as well.
There is an entire map missing from the Jungles of Chult booklet (as well as the section on 'gem magic', mentioned on the back cover). The gem-stuff was cut for space (too bad the blurb wasn't changed), but the missing map was an accident (I've pieced this together form stuff read elsewhere, like the L-List). It was the map showing the rest of the Chultan Peninsula (which I've tried to track-down may times, but no-one has seen it in years... but it exists...)

As I recall from a [very ancient] discussion on the REALMS-L, this issue was never fully explained. |

Thank you guys... For the context, I can tell that it ends the Roaming Bear legend and starts again the description of the travels of Elminster in Gnarhelm... I wanted to know if it was "recoverable" because I have a PC that comes from this Northmen realm... |
