But I'll go for it anyway.....
I think it's reasonable to expect that Middle Sea Empire cartographers could produce some very creditable maps of the coasts of Glorantha, especialy bearing in mind their magical resources.
Some ancient maps were very good. The greeks had some excelent maps of the mediterranean region, from west africa to the black sea. Some very old maps of china are realy rather good too, though the coastal detail is poor as they were not great navigators.
There were, of course, also many realy crap maps around too. Perhaps we need some truly awfull Gloranthan maps, just to add realism. Has anyone got Dave Dobyski's phone number?
