[Mkguild] Where is Midtown?

[C. Matthias]

The map has issues only in the sense that the valley mouth is too 
wide at the southern end.   The map of just the valley also has 
issues in that it created a city out of nowhere to be at the bottom 
of the valley just outside the Curse that directly contravened what 
everyone had already been writing about Metamor Valley, namely, that 
Midtown was the nearest town outside the Curse and on the main 
trading route south.

I consider the earlier maps more valid because they line up with 
what, to date, people have written about Metamor Keep.

May He bless you and keep you in His grace and love,

Charles Matthias
