TERRAIN:
This little-known territory exists between the fierce
nomads to the south and the terrible Land of Black
Ice to the north, protected by the cold marshes and
the dangerous Icy Sea, as well as the vast stretches of
the Burneal Forest. It is reported
that hot springs and
volcanism keep the AREA habitable, and that monsters
teem in its wildernesses of brush and marsh. The
original capital, Blackmoor, and its castle were sacked
and ruined some years ago, but extensive labyrinths
are supposed to exist under these ruins. There also is
purported to be a strange "City of the Gods" somewhere
within the Archbarony. Inhabitants of the AREA
employ slings, bows (short), and spears. Cavalry is
uncommon, except in the force of the ruler.

Thanks
for your time Gary.
As
always, much apprecitated!
The
Blackmoor on the Oerick maps is certainly not the same as Dave Arneson's
campaign setting.
I
liked its ring, so put it onto the map as I was making up names for the
various states.
The Blackmoor supplement to OD&D was indeed done by Dave Arneson, editorially develped by Tim Kask. Before it was Greyhawk, after it came Eldritch Wizadry.
Cheers,
Gary
