The first book focused on the land-locked Midderlands¸ an area I know well. In terms of a campaign area¸ it is small ‐ approximately 45 miles by 35 miles ‐ which allows for a feeling of close ties and for the actions of the player characters to have a tangible influence. I have been to Haven's End¸ Ill Faircombe¸ Blymouth¸ Great Lunden¸ Windsour¸ Caer Oldenwale¸ Bellthorp... the list goes on. I realised that I know quite a bit about some of the other locations around my fair island home. I love the sea¸ the rugged hills and mountains of Oldenwale¸ and I frequently take trips to Bear Maw. I realised I could use the same approach as I used in The Midderlands to twist and mould other locations¸ and finally make my way to the seas and discover the other landmasses at its borders.
Ports¸ shipwrecks¸ Gaulandia¸ Scrotland¸ Oldenwale¸ Emeraude¸ and the Serpentlands could all be used to make the setting larger and introduce more alarming horrors and threats to the safety of not only the midderfolk¸ but havenfolk at large. Sea monsters¸ threats of invasion¸ countrywide travel¸ island enclaves¸ ship combat to name a few. An expanded setting gave more opportunity for adventure and who doesn't love adventure?
