User:Yoda8myhead/User blog/I'm Working for Paizo (and I need YOUR help!)

I'm going to be helping with this product, and you can too!

I've been given the ok by the esteemed Erik Mona to discuss publicly my upcoming stint as temporary employee of Paizo Publishing. I was asked to extend my trip to Seattle, where I was already planning on going to attend PaizoCon, to spend a week in the office adding locations to the giant poster map of the Inner Sea region that will appear in the Inner Sea Poster Map Folio later this year. The plan is to go through every Pathfinder product and make sure that every named location (even ones without descriptions) are included in the map with a tag. And that's a ton of work!

So, fellow canon-fiends, here's where you come in! What are the most obscure named locations you have come across in your ongoing chronicling? Vyre immediately sprang to mind for me, but that can't be the only place that's been mentioned and then never mapped or mentioned again. Erik was excited when I asked if I could tap the wiki community for help catching the really esoteric, off-hand name-dropping from the scores of products within Pathfinder canon. Don't disappoint.

Do you just want to stick with AP, Chronicles, and Companion material, or can we delve into the ephemera of PFS scenarios as well? —Brandingopportunity (talk) Wed, 09 Jun 2010 02:59:38 +0000

Rise of the Runelords Player's Guide: Arsmeril, Crying Leaf (p. 4), Thom, Irrere, Holgrim (labled Halgrim on the CS pull-out map) (p. 5), Tower of Stars (p. 9), the exact location of Bloodsworn Vale (p. 13). Some of these may only exist in Master Schneider's imagination, of course :) —Brandingopportunity (talk) Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:33:15 +0000

Was Glimmerhold ever given a specific location within the Mindspin Mountains? If not, then that. —Kcslavi (talk) Tue, 15 Jun 2010 04:50:35 +0000

I say the more obscure the better. The goal is to get all of them on there. —Yoda8myhead (talk) Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:01:43 +0000

My job will be to take things that have thus far existed only in Wes's mind, and make them exist on a map also. —Yoda8myhead (talk) Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:51:11 +0000

Good call on Glimmerhold. That's one I easily could have overlooked cause it's such a huge part of that adventure. —Yoda8myhead (talk) Tue, 15 Jun 2010 04:51:23 +0000
