Back in the heyday of TFT, Feist worked with a group called MIDKEMIA PRESS 
run by Abrams and Everson.  Abram's world is set about a thousand years 
after riftwars.  The Sunken Lands are where mountains once stood.  They 
created cities and land modulebooks that I use to this day.  Midkemia is the 
western edge of my Nortam continent.  By the way, about 4 years ago I tried 
to read Magician and only got about a quarter of the way through.  Others 
recommend Feist, I recommend Midkemia Press.  To reach their website  
<http://www.midkemia.com/welcom.html>  at least I hope thats it.

I like it when wizards have a hard time of it with the locals.  In Nortam, 
wizards and religions are at odds, so flashy wizards may have a congregation 
chasing them down.
