Lundora?

Lunadora is listed on Anna B. Meyers' World of Greyhawk Map as a city controlling a small territory around it. It is located adjacent to Gildenhand on the east side of the Sepia Uplands next to the Vesve Forest.

I have no idea what this is and I can find nothing by Googling it. Does anyone know anything about this location or where I might search for it?

Edit: According to Anna's map, Lunadora is a free mining town of 2,000 to 5,000 individuals. I can find no description of it anywhere.

Could be a typo; from Jason’s index:

Lunadore [TWN]
WGR4 - 52

and referenced on the Vesve wiki page too: https://greyhawkonline.com/greyhawkwiki/Vesve_Forest

Allan.

Thanks, Allan!

I found only two references to "Lunadore" when I just Googled it and the second reference was a link to this thread on Canonfire! Laughing

The first link, however, gives a short description that verifies all the information on Anna's map, plus a little more.

Again, thank you for the suggested correction.

From Marklands (pg 44):

“Lunadore
Lunadore is a gnomish enclave of some 500 gnomes, who mine for copper here. Technically this is within the fief of Perrenland, but the gnomes here have administered their own affairs for as long as anyone can remember and they consider themselves part of the Highfolk since they have many relatives there. The gnomes here have recently opened up a vein of fair quality moonstones, which they try to keep secret. They have been attacked of late by bandit hillmen from the Clatspurs, and have a permanent militia of 60, including spies ringing the approaches to the mine. Two illusionists here use many deceptive spells such as (improved) invisibility to protect the spies, and hallucinatory terrain to disguise the mine itself.
The Lunadore gnomes trade both with Highfolk and with Traft in Perrenland, and this is a good place to hear news of Perrenland and the Wolf Nomad lands, if the gnomes trust those they are speaking to.”

Thanks, Kwint! I don't know why that blurb didn't show up in my Google search, but I'm glad you provided it here. Smile

Gnomish ironic humor or HP universe logic?

'Let's keep our supply of moonstones secret by naming out settlement Lunadore'
