I bought the 2 books from the Greyawk box set on ebay last week for $15.99, and they arrived today. And to my surprise inside the books were both original maps of the Flanaess in pretty much perfect condition ( really high quality folded into squares ), also were 2 giant maps in hex grid of Ravenscrag Castle and the surrounding area's. Any Idea what the maps of Ravenscrag Castle by Derek C. Watson pertain to?

Sorry, not a clue . . . and Google didn't help.
Unless it's the real world castle:

Might I suggest you cast "Summon Rasgon?" _________________ Mystic's web page: http://melkot.com/mysticscholar/index.html

thanks for trying though, but another pointed me to Judges Guild. Judges Guild made the universal module Ravenscrag castle 1981 among others.

Does anyone know where most of the places in the Duchy of Ulek come from? Specifically Winterdorf, Barleyton, Weaverton, Hurstwerks Keep, Hoch Dunglorin?
Google, Encyclopedia Greyhawkania, Oerth Journal, and my Living Greyhawk modules have been no help.

Not Exactly Greyhawk News.... but does show us what the Demi-Goddess of Cartography has been up to of late.
The World of Midgard....
http://midgardmap.koboldpress.com/
It does however give us an idea of her expanding talents and a glimpse at things to come with her new Greyhawk Adventures as seen on her patron account.
https://www.patreon.com/annabmeyer/posts
For any that have been following her patron site, you can see her new banner inspired by the Lendore Isles coming to life as never before....
I for one am excited to see where Greyhawk goes in her and Darlene's combined efforts
Thanks to Kobold Press for sharing the news.

About a day ago Anna posted in the Canonfire! Facebook Group that she will updating this thread soon!
Link to the FB Group thread she posted in...
https://www.facebook.com/groups/145589585501508/permalink/1737714096289041/
I look forward to her Greyhawk Maps 2.0 project she is about to begin. She wants to test some new tools and learn some new skills. We all get to be beneficiaries of that effort.

Anyone know the sources for Fort Thomas and Singleton at the base of the Jotens in the Yeomanry?
I found nothing in the Living Greyhawk Player's Guide to the Yeomany
Singleton popped up on fan site

Twenty years ago I started mapping the World of Greyhawk for my own campaign, and then decided to share my work on the then emerging Internet. The rest is an history most of you who read this already know about so instead of looking backwards I’m going to try and look forward. I’ve decided to start all over again. Yes I mean starting all over again with mapping the Flanaess, and its surroundings. What on Oerth can make me come to this conclusion?
I want to do this again for three different reasons. The first one is that I know have the experience needed to do it properly. Second, technology is now beginning to be powerful enough to make it possible to do it right. Thirdly I’m so passionate about it that when I see a way to make a much better job I just have to do it!
It took me more than five years of full time work last time, and to remake it the way I want to is not going to much easier. My estimate for this is for it to take around 5 years of work. How long that will actually take depends on how much time I can devote to it. If I do this as a hobby like last time it will be a decade or so. Thankfully there is a way for you to make it possible for me to devote more time to it, support my Patreon. With a little bit more support mapping the world of Greyhawk will be an ongoing project that I can treat as an commissioned project, with more support it can be my major project or maybe even a full time undertaking. We will see how that develop, it will be my hobby and passion anyway, and also be a big part of my research and development. so I will work on one way or the other.
So what are goals this time around?
Full elevation model with increased detail to 100/pixel. Enough to make it useful for outdoor adventures by visualizing what an area actually looks like. This can also serve as a solid base for city and encounter maps to be developed that will match the surrounding terrain. Below is an example of the difference in resolution and a proper elevation model.
Global Precision, the Flanaess needs to be accurately placed this time to make it possible to expand the project to cover other parts of Oerth as well.
Meta data part of the project from the start. I want to make use of modern GIS (Geographical Information System) standards to make it possible to keep track of things and form a base for better forms of presentation and varied use.
Presentation and format needs to be a major focus for this project. The current map is only top down in two formats, JPG and PDF. Next time the data needs to be usable in many more ways. I envision things like game engines, GIS tools, RPG campaign tools like Realm Works, webb based maps and more.
To go along with the data should be a set of graphical symbols 2D and 3D, graphical elements fonts and more specially designed to present the World of Greyhawk at its finest.
All my Greyhawk content have been free to download and published under the Creative Commons -by -nc license. This going to be the case going forward as well. If Wizard of the Coast changing their stance of Greyhawk fan created content, I might have to look into what they offer, but that is only hypothetical and my guess is that it will remain so for the foreseeable future. Creative Commons -by -nc, gives you the permission to use, alter and share the content for non commercial purposes as long as the source is indicated.
The main goal with this is that whatever comes out of this should be used by Greyhawk fans and others as much as possible and serve as a platform for anyone who wants to run games set in Greyhawk. That means that it needs to be accessible, modifiable and sharable.
How to try and tackle this huge undertaking?
I’m in the planning stage right now, and there are several bits and pieces that needs to fall in place before actual work can begin. This is what most of this year will be occupied with. 2018 revision of the existing map will be more thorough than previous years to make it more compatible with the future content. This is important since it will be years until all of it can be replaced with a new version, so the old have to live side by side with the new as good as possible. My existing map is also my main guide when mapping it again, and we want as good of a guide as possible.
The Oerth Geo Referencing project is what I will call my effort to try and place the Flanaess properly on Oerth. I will try and use all the data from Greyhawk canon sources as well as some of the great pieces written on the topic and try and implement them using GIS tools.
In order to set both standards and work-flow small test areas needs to be mapped. The first one out is the Lendore Isles. Islands are good pilot areas since they are separate from the mainland and can more easily be imported and merged with future content.
These three parts will probably keep me busy this year, and if there are time over there are always interesting tidbits to dig into. things like city sketches, heraldry and touch up other old stuff hidden in various places…

All formerly separate map links now redirect to a single, low resolution, map of the continent.
Does anyone know what gives?
Is this preparation for an unveiling, or has Anna decided to restrict access to her work?
Or is there just a temporary server error?
Update: Her Patreon Page has a post today saying "Website Trouble". That is the most relieved I have ever been to read those words!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery! _________________ My campaigns are multilayered tapestries upon which I texture themes and subject matter which, quite frankly, would simply be too strong for your hobbyist gamer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Mp7Ikko8SI

Well, now after two lengthy hospital stays I finally have my flight clearance... (and there was much rejoicing hehe)
I plan to make good use of it before they ground me again, so my gang of hearty adventures will be making the pilgrimage to Gamehole Con in Madison Wisconsin and will be cornering up the Demi-Goddess of Cartography over dinner.
So just to pass along, if any have some questions they want me to toss Anna's way list here and I will see what I can gather from her and post back for all to share.
Best Wishes
GH Endures

Well back from Madison and the Gamehole Con.... Anna sends salutations to her supportive GH faithful.
She is still delving with those Kobold of Kobold Press fame but did co-conspire a seminar with Alyssa Faden on cartography where Greyhawk got some love.
We did manage to have lunch on several occasions and discuss Greyhawk and things in the works...
For her, she is detailing out the Sheildlands for her new campaign personal play and for me the hardy band of adventurers I have will try to clean up the mess the giants have made of Geoff.
So we hope to follow up with details and of course looking for the same from all those that continue to GH Endure.....

Map Confusion

So I am looking at Anna's Flanaess Full Map 598 CY - 2019 Edition REV1 (as hosted on http://greyhawkonline.com/ghmaps/) in the region of Geoff. [Edit: what follows is also true on the Flanaess 576 CY - 2020 Edition map at https://www.annabmeyer.com/greyhawk-maps/]
The river that flows from the Isle of Rhun to Hocholve is labeled at its headwaters in the Lake of Rhun as the Avon Fyn, but by the time it reaches the Midwood Forest it is called the Olvewater. Or, perhaps it is the lake itself that is the Avon Fyn, or the river flowing into the lake, while the outflow is the Olvewater. The Olvewater enters the Javan north of New Midwood.
The river that starts in the center of the Cantrev of Rychdir Rhos and enters the Javan at New Midwood is not labeled.
Some sources say that it is the Olvewater that flows through New Midwood, which would mean the unlabeled southern river should be the Olvewater while the doubly labeled northern river should be the Avon Fyn, only.
For example,
https://db4sgowjqfwig.cloudfront.net/campaigns/129072/assets/845045/GyruffCY618_04.pdf?1522501776, which seems to be largely based on LG sources, seems to suggest that the lake itself is the Avon Fyn while the northern river is the Olvewater for its entirety.
Also, http://wiki.griffcrier.com/index.php?title=Westmarks_Campaign_Primer supports this, and specifically calls the lake "Lake Avon Ffyn" [sic]
But, I think "Avon" would more generally be translated as "River" rather than lake.
Canon source The Liberation of Geoff says Midwood "sits on one of the broader parts of the Olvewater between the Dim Forest and the Oytwood" and the map included shows the Olvewater originating in the lake.
However, the map is problematic in that it shows the Olvewater bending south to flow through Midwood but it appears that the Olvewater becomes the Javan, without showing the Javan's source in the Vale of the Mage

I am still looking at Anna's Flanaess Full Map 598 CY - 2019 Edition REV1 (as hosted on http://greyhawkonline.com/ghmaps/) but now in the region of Sterich. [Edit: what follows is also true on the Flanaess 576 CY - 2020 Edition map at https://www.annabmeyer.com/greyhawk-maps/]
There are two towns across the Javan from one another; one on the Keoish side (Javan Ferry) and one on the Sterish side (Sterich Road). They are separated by the Ford of Marich, which I believe comes from Gary Holian's LGJ1 article on Keoland.
I am wondering about the naming of the Sterish town "Sterich Road", though. It appears to be taken from the Dungeon 117 map supplement (https://paizo.com/dungeonissues/117/DA117_OnlineSupplement.pdf, in which indeed, it looks like these are the names given for the two towns (although on that map the symbols appear to indicate that they are villages, not towns).
However, closer inspection reveals that the Dungeon map names a number of roads: King's Highway (from Flen east), Oyt Road (from Istivin north), and Davish Main Trail (from Istivin south). Given that, I wonder if "Sterich Road" is rather the name of the road from Istivin east, and the unfortunate placement of it on the map near to an (unnamed) village on the Javan has resulted in people coming to believe it refers to the name of the village?
Similarly, perhaps the east-bank village is also actually unnamed, and "Javan Ferry" refers to the river crossing itself rather than the settlement?"
In this same thread (page 24; April 17, 2017) Mystic-Scholar says that Gary Holian wrote about both of these cities [sic] but does not say where. I don't think they are mentioned in LGJ1. _________________ My campaigns are multilayered tapestries upon which I texture themes and subject matter which, quite frankly, would simply be too strong for your hobbyist gamer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Mp7Ikko8SI

Looking at the DUNGEON #117 supplement map, I would guess that Javan Ferry is a single village that straddles the river. Every other settlement appears to be named. I agree that “Sterich Road” refers to the road, not the settlement.

I hadn't considered that alternative. It does indeed appear that every other non-ruined population center / settlement on the map is named (although only two of the seven keeps are), so having Javan Ferry (west and east?) seems like a good solution. _________________ My campaigns are multilayered tapestries upon which I texture themes and subject matter which, quite frankly, would simply be too strong for your hobbyist gamer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Mp7Ikko8SI

On the Avon Fyn/Avon Ffyn - If we're adhering to Welsh, as most of the Geoff nomenclature tends to, then Afon/Avon should be river, yes. I find the translation of the name interesting: Afon Ffyn is River of Staves/River of Sticks - maybe deriving from being a forest river for part of its length?

Where the Javan enters the Rushmoors, Anna has "Keeler's Keep" across the river from Tanner's Ferry.
It is spelled "Keller's Keep" here: https://db4sgowjqfwig.cloudfront.net/campaigns/129072/assets/845045/GyruffCY618_04.pdf?1522501776, a fan site that seems largely based on LG sources.

I dont have a record of either spelling. Sounds like LG campaign material. The only Keller's Keep that comes to mind was a supplement for the Heroquest boardgame.

I figured, but thanks for checking. _________________ My campaigns are multilayered tapestries upon which I texture themes and subject matter which, quite frankly, would simply be too strong for your hobbyist gamer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Mp7Ikko8SI

Looks like Anna took the same interpretation I did and assumed that Galesford was later renamed Curtulenn.

It looks like Sargent was aware of Galesford but changed the name to Curtulenn in WGR4, Galesford actually has some implications about the Franz River so I'd stick with Gygax's version.

There is no “Gygax’s version”. Galesford is literally just a single name-check in Saga of Old City. There’s no development. (Frankly, Sargent didn’t develop Curtulenn much either.) I’m simply suggesting that sometime between 577 and 585 CY, the name was changed from Galesford to Curtulenn (for reasons the DM can fabricate), neatly reconciling the two references.

There are no mentions of Galesford in WGR4 or LGG so it isnt a name change within the lore. Curtelenn is placed where Gygax has said Galesford would be so its simply a Sargentism.
It could be Galesford in Oeridian and Curtulenn in Flan. The Galesford implies that you have a ford of the Franz River between Trigot (Trigol) and that would effect navigation as well as the relation between the two towns.

Just noted on page 213 of Saga of Old City that Owlsthorpe appears to be in the wrong location. Should be north of the rough trail through the Flinty Hills, not south of the trail.

Anna, what would the best option for printing your 30-mile hex map to maximize resolution but keeping the size manageable? (By manageable I guess I mean as large as an outfit like Kinko's or some such could print / laminate it)
Thanks
