Håvard’s Blacklore Peninsula

Following on from his Hollow World maps, Håvard produced a close-up view of the Blacklore Peninsula in the extreme south. This is perhaps not a surprising choice, given his interest in Blackmoor, and the connection between the Blacklore Elves and Blackmoor.

All of the details here are new, as the Hollow World Set provided little information on the area. Håvard created settlements and other points of interest, complete with place names. The rivers and lake are also his invention.

One point of confusion may be the shape of the peninsula, which appeared as a long and thin sliver of land on the world map. However, the far southern region of any world map is almost always stretched out in the east-west dimension. So in fact Håvard’s depiction here is likely much closer to the proper shape than it appeared on those maps.

Robin would later revisit the area for her own map.
