Keep on the Hyperborderlands
thinking about running Keep on the Borderlands in Hyperborea-- but I'm not sure where to put it geographically. I have the 2e monsterous manual for all the creatures not typically present in these most northern isles, all that remains is the "where". perhaps I could just drop a shrunken down dutchy of karamikos somewhere in the hyperborean sea, but I think there must be a good spot for the keep somewhere on the mainland.
considering following up with Master of the Desert Nomads/ Temple of Death.
"We alone of all mankind, who are sorcerers of high attainment and mastery, may endure the lethal ice-change and become breathers of the airless void, and thus, in the end, be made suitable for the provender of such as Rlim Shaikorth." sounds great unless you know what Provender means.

Re: Keep on the Hyperborderlands
Maybe in Brigand's Bay, reconfigured as the fortress of a bandit "king"?

that's a good idea!

Re: Keep on the Hyperborderlands
Actually, I'd think that the "settlement" south of Larchmere Yys might be better if you then continue the quest series. To the back, you have a river that passes through the red Desert and heads to the Mountain chan described in the Desert Nomads, But then going through a Pass for the Temple leads kinda nowhere...

Re: Keep on the Hyperborderlands
Well I placed between the Kimmerians and the Kelts, also I redid map of KoB:
My Map is a conversion of an area north of Brigand's Bay, but I enjoy the area for the cultural mix, Kimmerians, Kelts, Vikings and Common types are frequent.
I call the keep Dunbeag, and based on the map form: Keep on the Borderlands: The Expansion - Usherwood Publishing | High-Adventure from Middle-School | DriveThruRPG.com
Changed some of Names to use my maps.
