Well, I wasn't thinking of detailing all of Cidri... :-)

Point taken, but I would have rather liked a bit larger map that just
encompasses Elyntia, the LBTM, and maybe some idea of where Trevalia is in
the greater scheme of things. The focus would be on the areas detailed in
modules, but show enough of the area around them to give the GMs some things
to do and just have something a little more coherent to work with.

We're only talking about a very small land area, relative to a continent, so
I don't think you'd have too much trouble with fitting it in to your own
campaign.

I agree that it would have been bad to put alot of detail in, but again, a
couple extra pages of background and the map I mentioned would have been
nice, if only to give beginning GMs more of a clue.

Maybe not altogether necessary, but I would have enjoyed it more. Not that I
mind inventing my own stuff, but there just could have been a bit more so
that I could better weave together the fragments that do exist.
